Hi, Intellectual work does not constitute manual labor and is therefore allowed on Sunday. Many a religious sister has corrected papers and made lesson plans on Sundays! Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
Hi, The prohibition concerns manual labor. Mental work (including homework) is not manual work and is therefore allowed. Nice try, though. Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
Yes. You are not allowed to do unnecessary servile work, but you can do mental work if you want to.
You read books on Sunday right, that’s mental work.
