• Sabbath observance invites us to stop. It invites us to rest. It asks us to notice that while we rest, the world continues without our help. It invites us to delight in the world's beauty and abundance.

• El significado del sábado es celebrar el tiempo en lugar del espacio. Seis días a la semana vivimos bajo la tiranía de las cosas del espacio; el sábado intentamos sintonizar con la santidad en el tiempo. Es un día en el que estamos llamados a compartir lo que es eterno en el tiempo, a pasar de los resultados de la creación al misterio de la creación; del mundo de la creación a la creación del mundo.

• "Sabbath is not primarily about us or how it benefits us; it is about God, and how God forms us. It is not, in the first place, about what we do or don't do; it is about God - completing and resting and blessing and sanctifying. These are all things that we don't know much about......But it does mean stopping and being quiet long enough to see - open-mouthed - with wonder - resurrection wonder.....we cultivate the "fear of the Lord". Our souls are formed by what we cannot work up or take charge of. We respond and enter into what the resurrection of Jesus continues to do."

• There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.

  Abraham Joshua Heschel

• Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility... Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.

  Wayne Muller

• ¿Y dónde se nos dice en las Escrituras que debemos guardar el primer día? Se nos ordena guardar el séptimo; pero en ninguna parte se nos ordena guardar el primer día .... La razón por la que guardamos como santo el primer día de la semana en lugar del séptimo es por la misma razón que observamos muchas otras cosas, no porque la Biblia, sino porque la iglesia lo ha ordenado.

  Isaac Williams
