Rest can be hard work.
Here’s a reflection that I needed to read, personally, and as a retreat leader.
The media and the Scriptures remind us to rest. I feel my shame creeping in as I realize that my body, mind and soul say they need rest. I am not a martyr by any means. I am, however, a pragmatist. The times feel hopeful and hard, and there’s work to be done.
What is rest? How are we offering it? How are we taking it?
