I was really moved by this reflection. It strikes me an example of viewing this commandment in a very conscientious way–this is, how might God call me, in my particular circumstances and in my current relationships with God, my faith community, and others whom I love, to honor the Sabbath and keep it holy? It seems to me that these inmates asked that question with a freshness and honesty that is really inspiring and captures the point of the commandment. I also expect that the answers might be different at different times in one’s life.

I hope we could find a way to inspire similar reflection in the service on Sunday. Thanks a lot for sharing such a rich experience with us.
