Subject: How do I observe Sundays.

I just had a conversion in 2000, and been on a Wonderful Spiritual Journey since. One of the steps on this Journey that the Holy Spirit has led me to, is Keeping Holy the Sabbath.
I now DO NOT do wash, clean car, shop at any department stores or food stores. I must admit I do not have a full time job during the week, just Part Time, so it is probably easier for me to do this. Although like anything you get in a routine and it’s hard to change. I now look forward to Sundays because I know that on Sundays I’ll be resting and having a free day to Go to attend Mass, read spiritual books, listen to Spiritual music and sometimes even take a nap!!
I am 55, divorced and remarried after raising 7 children by myself for 13 years.
I welcome this change and feel the Holy Spirit is directing my life to become closer to Our Lord so I can give back the MOST I can for
ALL He has done for me!! Observing Sundays for Our Lord is relatively a small offering.
