Celebrating the Lord’s Day – how to educate people to celebrate and rest

Abstract

The article deals with the current problem of the crisis of Sunday celebrations in the family and parish. One of the ways to change this negative situation is to revive catechesis and make believers aware of the need to live this day properly, therefore it is necessary to undertake tasks influencing the shaping of appropriate attitudes appropriate to the proper celebration of Sunday and the ability to rest effectively. The pandemic that dominated the man of the 21st century and caused him to be locked in the four walls of his place of residence, leaves bad effects not only in the physicality of the human person in the form of various complications after the disease. The spirituality of a modern man, which has suffered sufficient damage from the pandemic, has also suffered. The grotesque fact is that today people are afraid to participate in the Sunday Eucharist, explaining that they are at high risk of contracting coronavirus, and on the other hand, by not respecting the sanitary regulations related to the pandemic – walking without a masked mouth and nose – they wander the alleys of supermarkets and shopping centers. Today, the paradoxes of life are more and more visible in the life of a person who often misunderstands and defines the ability to celebrate and rest. Many people of the modern world suffer from a lack of proper rest, a person after rest is more tired than before it. It is a consequence of departing from the sources of Christian education and heading towards modern, tolerant education, which does not come from God, but focuses on a man – in him it has its source and end – it leads to the meaninglessness of the human life.
