"Is there a Catholic approach to summer vacation? Can a vacation be sanctified? If so, what does that mean, and what would it imply for the rest of the year?
"Let’s say that this topic should go to the top of anyone's list, as of the highest importance, not least because of its connection with Sunday. The word 'vacation' is nowhere to be found in the Catechism, yet 'rest' is frequently mentioned, always in connection with the Lord's Day: 'The institution of the Lord's Day helps everyone enjoy adequate rest and leisure to cultivate their familial, cultural, social, and religious lives.' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2184)"
In a recent commentary, Dr. Michael Pakaluk, Professor in the Busch School of Business at Catholic University of America,
reflected on the role of rest, relaxation, recreation, and rejuvenation in our lives.
