"The Sabbath has a way of doing just what it was meant to do, sheltering one day in seven from the demands of economics. Its benefits cannot be commercialised. Leisure, by way of contrast, is highly commercialised. But leisure is seldom more than a bit of time ransomed from habitual stress. Sabbath is a way of life, one long since gone from this country, of course, due to secularising trends, which are really economic pressures that have excluded rest as an option, first of all from those most in need of it. 'The Givenness of Things', Marilynne Robinson, p. 115.
