Neil Peart And Keeping The Sabbath

Decent  job on the beard (although I highly recommend professional help - because barbers have to eat too). To say that anyone in Rush is Canadian is redundant.

Priests working on Saturday and Sunday is part of the job description. Don't sweat it. Jesus said that the Sabbath is for man, so we should not worry about breaking it, especially not to do ministry. Just take Tuesdays off - not even funerals - which are a Monday thing if you don't have them on Sunday. 

An alternate sabbath is a concept that priests should embrace, especially for teenagers. When I was in High School, I was a dishwasher. Because I am (was?) Catholic, the Sunday obligation meant going to Mass - which has replaced the Sabbath. This makes it convenient for scheduling young people to work during both days of the weekend. We cannot go back to 

Blue Laws, but for their own benefit, Mondays need to be made a day off from high school - which includes a ban on weekend homework.As a moral voice of the community, please work on that. Teenagers need this badly. It is one reason they suicide. Too much constant pressure. Please work on this.
