Gentle Father, who knows our needs and our limitations, help us to understand the laws you have given us, that we would not follow blindly or constrict ourselves to our own detriment but find freedom and goodness in all that you have ordained, through Jesus Christ our guide and example, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in joy forever and ever. Amen.
‘Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath.”‘ – Mark 2:27
