Are you running forward with all your might, only to feel anxious because you don't know the direction? The world constantly goads us to stay busy, but in that rush, we often miss the most precious presence: God. Fr. Nam-jin Andrew Jeong explains why 'stopping' is essential for our souls and what the true gift of the Sabbath is from the Old Testament.

The Sabbath is not just a day to stop working; it is a time intentionally set aside to look at God and discover the graces already present beside us. Just as the Jewish people resolutely close their shops on Friday evenings, we need the courage to prioritize God over worldly values. We also reflect on whether our prayer has become another 'task' that drains us. Like Elijah meeting God in the silence, let us learn to rest in the Lord like a child and turn our prayer into a joyful play that refills our spiritual strength.
