Our soul needs to hear again that the blood of Jesus was shed for it. Our soul needs to be washed clean again, and our soul needs to be strengthened so that it may live faithful to God in this life. The workplace is getting harder today because of the demands on our time. Where we used to have to work Monday through Friday, now more and more jobs are requiring evening and weekend hours. Even Sunday mornings are not the sacred time they once were.
Many people have to work two and even three jobs to make a living today.
That leaves little time to gather with other Christians for the healing rest of the soul. And children, they are pulled every which way also. Sports practice, trips, and family vacations keep them from worship also. The Catechism warns us that we should not despise preaching and the word of God. When you have no time for something, you show that you care nothing about it, you despise it.
