Contemplation
To rest on the Sabbath does not mean to be idle, but rather to rest from being wearisome. God still works until now as Christ says, “My Father works up till now and I work.” Therefore, I urge you to avoid laziness and to be filled with the zeal toward virtue because the pleasure of evil is temporary but its pain remains. On the contrary, virtue gives lasting satisfaction and its labor is temporary.
+ St John Chrysostom 

Personal Question
When I come to church on Sunday, am I coming filled with an eagerness to pray and repent?
