The Spiritual Battle Behind Leisure

Finding time for leisure in our lives often feels like a battle, for the enemy uses many distractions to prevent us from experiencing communion with God and others. As we enter Holy Week and come to the end of this season, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas reflect on the spiritual battle behind leisure. The Sisters encourage us to overcome the resistance to rest by contemplating Jesus' immense love for us demonstrated on the Cross—He is the ultimate reason for our rest.
