Cum sa(-ti) distrugi sufletul

” By the institution of the Sabbath as an obligatory day of rest the world was given an opportunity to catch its breath, to reflect, and to appreciate anew the dignity of human life. Woe to the civilization that abolishes a structured Sabbath: nothing less than the destruction of the soul would be involved (according to Romano Guardini in a famous 1925 essay). The Sabbath gives us free time to rediscover and to celebrate our deepest identity. And vice versa, the person who honors the Sabbath receives a “supplement of soul” (supplément d’âme), as the Jewish thinker André Neher (d. 1988) put it. ”
