Sunday

This is the day that the Lord hath made

Sunday, the first day of the week, is consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity.  We are grateful to the Father for having created us (Invitatory), to the Son for having redeemed us, to the Holy Ghost for having sanctified us.  The mystery of the Blessed Trinity is the first great thought of the day.  The second is the mystery of Christ's Resurrection: each Sunday is Easter repeated, "the day that the Lord hath made," and from the Resurrection it receives its joyful spirit.
