The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus is in Belle-Eau, giving a talk on the Commandment: "You shall keep holy the feasts". He talks about Sabbath rest - for us, it's the equivalent of Sunday rest. It's a physical, moral and spiritual order. Jesus also talks about work. He insists on honest work, driven by love of neighbor. Finally, when we rest on the seventh day, we must dedicate it to our family, to God, and take the opportunity to examine our conscience, so as to be better the following week. Finally, the Lord enjoins us to be like toddlers, and there's the beautiful physical healing of a child who was paralyzed after being run over by a herodian.
