Practicing Sabbath
The Rev. Javier Almendárez-Bautista reflects on Jesus’s message about how the sabbath guides our relationship with God and the work we do (Luke 13:10-17): “The sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for sabbath. The root of the command is to create the space for relationship with God and our neighbors; the nature of God’s work among us is to free us for meaningful rest and for meaningful work.”
