Saint John Eudes on sanctifying holidays
The Lord's Day by Rev. Charles Bruehl

Saint John Vianney, the Holy Cure of Ars: For working on Sunday they had to live on bread and water for three days; for unnecessary traveling on Sunday, seven days and so forth.  ... : During the whole time of penance they had to keep away from all public functions and ceremonies, and had to live in retirement,    to live on bread and water several days each week, and to give alms, all of these being means to give satisfaction to Divine justice.

I gave you six days to work, I kept the seventh  for  myself,  and no one  wishes  to grant it to Me.  Those who drive carts cannot speak without putting the name of My Son in the middle.  This is what weighs down the arm of My Son so much., Our Lady of LaSalette
