Sunday is protected starting on Saturday

Sunday is meant for Mass, rest, relationships, and joy. However, it can end up covered by pending shopping, delayed chores, and a screen that occupies every single gap. In the end you rest from everything except the very pace that exhausted you. Taking care of it does not require a perfect day. Often it is enough to decide on the Mass time beforehand, get a reasonable errand done early, and talk at home about how you want to spend that time. Whoever cares for children or the sick, or works in essential services, will have less leeway, but can still protect some small space. Preparing Sunday starting on Saturday turns rest into a deliberate choice rather than an accident. Setting limits on work and consumption reminds you of something important: your worth does not depend on always producing or always being available.
