Summary

Patrick explains how to properly honor the Lord's Day, which is the third commandment. Patrick reflects upon Pope John Paul II's apostolic letter, Dies Domini, to provide a clear understanding of what activities are appropriate for Sundays. He discusses the importance of attending Mass, resting from unnecessary work, and dedicating time to family and charitable acts. Patrick also addresses the balance between secular distractions and sacred observance, highlighting modern dilemmas like working on Sundays and participating in entertainment like Super Bowl parties.

Can you go shopping on Sunday? Can you work? What is permissible? Patrick gets into the details with wise words from Pope John Paul II (00:30)
Mike - What do I do if Sunday is the only day I can cut my grass? (19:03)
Sam - I grew up in places that didn't work on Sundays. I later had to work for people who didn't respect the Sabbath and was told to work on Easter Sunday. (21:42)
Sebastian - If someone is making money, how do they decide how much to give to the Church and how much to spend on luxury? (24:22)

0:00.0	Don't worry about it. We don't make mistakes. We have happy accidents.
0:09.0	Compelling insights, unpredictable conversations, encouragement for your day.
0:14.7	It's the Patrick Madrid show on Relevant Radio.
0:19.3	Okay, we are back, and at the top of this hour, I just want to continue sharing with you.
0:24.4	If you're just tuning in right now, you didn't hear what I said a few minutes ago.
0:27.9	For a quick recap, we had some discussion on yesterday's show.
0:32.6	A question came up, you know, can you go to a restaurant on Sunday?
0:37.1	Can you go shopping on Sunday? What can you do?
0:39.3	What is when you want to keep holy the Lord's Day, which is the Third Commandment, what is
0:44.7	permitted and what's not permitted? So I had referenced Diaz Domini, which is the apostolic
0:49.3	letter from Pope John Paul II, but I didn't quote from it. It just sort of passed over that topic. And I thought
0:55.2	better of it last night as I was pondering the show. I was thinking, well, it would be a good idea
0:59.2	to kind of go back through and get some specifics so that you have a clear idea of what you can
1:05.5	and can't do if you want to fulfill the commandment to keep holy the Lord's day. So in the first area that he talks about,
1:12.6	which is Sunday as a day of worship, the first and most important thing is your Sunday obligation.
1:17.0	Go to Mass. Now, if you're in, if you're disposed to receive Holy Communion, you're not in the
1:22.6	state of mortal sin, and of course if you're a Catholic, then go. Receive Holy Communion.
1:30.3	It's not mandatory. And as I touched upon earlier, for a very long time, it wasn't customary for Catholics to receive
1:35.3	communion daily or even weekly. But it's a very good thing to do. And so that's what Pope John Paul
1:41.1	that says, I said it again. That's what Pope John Paul the second says to do
1:46.5	devote your time on Sunday primarily to God go to mass pray receive the Holy Eucharist if you're prepared to do
1:56.5	so if you want to engage in acts of mercy or charity you want to to help out at a soup kitchen on the Sunday, that's not work. That would be an act of charity. Things that you shouldn't do on Sunday in this category would be don't miss Mass. You have a solemn obligation to go to Mass every Sunday and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't let anyone tell you, well, you know, your kids have a soccer game.
