Description
Sara Minard cites the extensive research showing that the loss of social capital has resulted in people becoming more lonely, isolated, and depressed than ever before, and that our tech-driven market society leads to anxiety, depression, and violence. The antidote is Sabbath. When we step into it as a practice of stillness and contemplative prayer, it becomes easier to move away from the usual distractions of social media and material comfort. It gives us the ability to sit with the hard questions about what matters most to us, and bring to God the sufferings of our heart so we can tend to ourselves, and heal what hurts, before we turn to others.
