One day of rest will do a world of good

SOME government ministers want to reduce wages for working on Sundays.

I am a moderate Catholic, but I believe that it is wrong to do unnecessary work on a Sunday without a good reason. Of course, there are exceptions.

The Third Commandment tells us clearly to “remember to keep holy the Sabbath Day”. God rested from the work of creation on the seventh day. We live in a pluralist, multicultural society. Other religions also set aside one day a week for reflection and prayer.
