“Petition: Closure of Stores on Sundays”

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

During this pandemic, we are discovering the virtue of taking the time to
stop. We see the good it can have on the family and on the planet, for it allows
the planet to stop and take a breath too. We also see the good that it can have
on our spiritual life. It has allowed us to pray on our own, together with family
or with people with whom we are confined.
Therefore, to stop to rest on Sunday, to make Sunday a common day of
rest, would be a strength, and a benefit to society.

Do we want to make Sunday a common day of rest? If so, place this in your
internet search: National Assembly, “Petition: Closure of Stores on Sundays.”
This will identify the correct site and it will guide you to be able to fill out the
petition.

There are, at this moment, about a thousand people who have already
responded to the Petition. We have until August 29th this summer to sign the
Petition.

Let us make Sunday a common day of rest.
