Saturday, May 4:
Some experiences you can have only when living with someone. You have a regular dinner companion, someone to share household responsibilities with, someone to share your day's experiences with. No matter what the relationship, it can be fantastic.
But sometimes it's not. Your parent snores loudly enough to wake the neighbors. Your roommate prefers the floor for clothes storage as opposed to a closet. Your spouse can't write "laundry detergent" or "olive oil" on the well-displayed grocery list (not that my husband is guilty of any of these...). That's why I did a double-take when reading today's Gospel. Jesus, in his farewell discourse from John, declares that he and the Father will "make our dwelling" with those who keep God's word. The Greek word for "dwelling" is mone. lt indicates that this is not temporary-it's not an overnight camping trip or a two-week can-l-crash-on-your-couch situation. Mone intends a permanent home for God with us-not over us or next to us or down the street. With us, within our very selves.
But hasn't God learned about roommates? Doesn't God know about the snoring? about our sins and our brokenness? our unworthiness and our

Biblical tradition states that the Sabbath
is the day that God rested from the labors of creation. Sunday is also the day we commemorate Christ's resurrection from the dead

We rightly refer to Sunday, then, as the Lord's Day. This being so, it's important to make sure that we do everything possible to keep the Lord's Day holy and ensure that we reserve adequate time on Sunday for worship, rest, and recreation. However, in today's world, many traditional activities, social services, and family needs require some people to work on Sundays. In fact, many people have only the weekends to do the many errands and other activities that sustain their families. Our participation in such activities and services is not a sin, nor does it mean that those who do need to work cannot find an appropriate way to sanctify the Lord's Day and allow time for the worship, rest, and renewal that are proper to the day. For more information on this topic, see paragraphs 2184 through 2195 of the Catechism of the Catlnlic Church. Fr.
