Mark 2:27-28 (NABRE) Then Jesus said to them, “The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the Sabbath, a gift made for my rest and renewal. Help me to honor this day, remembering that it is for my benefit and not a burden. Guide me to find peace and restoration in Your presence, just as Jesus taught. Amen.
