Peaceful Mind Podcast For Catholic Moms

326. How Honoring The Sabbath Can Create More Peace


Listen Later

You've probably heard it your whole life: God created the world in six days, and on the seventh he rested. You believe it. You maybe even honoring it by going to Mass on Sundays. But have you ever truly, intentionally honored the Sabbath? 

Not just a slightly slower day. Not just attending church. But actually deciding: today I will live unhurried. Today I will step out of productivity and into being. 

Inspired by Matthew Kelly's book Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy, Danielle did her own Sabbath experiment — and in just four weeks, something shifted. There was more spaciousness. More listening. More willingness to be interrupted. And she wants to share exactly what she discovered with you. 

In this episode, you'll hear: 

  • What it actually looks like to honor the Sabbath — practically, without rigidity or perfectionism
  • What Danielle noticed shift in herself over four weeks of intentional Sundays
  • A list of tangible things to consider letting go of on Sundays (and what to do instead)
  • Why rest isn't laziness — it's actually obedience
  • How to start small, even if your Sundays are full of kids' activities
  • If your heart has been quietly craving something more unhurried, this episode might just be the doorway you didn't know you were looking for.
