In today's A Closer Look Episode, Margaret Cronin discusses the importance of leisure for women, especially during times of uncertainty and unrest. Leisure is different from rest and entertainment, and it allows us to give our full attention to the beloved, whether it be a friend or God. Margaret emphasizes the need for women to take time for themselves and engage in activities that bring peace and restoration. Sisterhood plays a crucial role in supporting women in their leisure pursuits, both by stepping in to help and by providing camaraderie. The practice of holy moments and being fully present in the moment are key to experiencing leisure. Margaret also explores the balance between an active and contemplative life, drawing inspiration from the stories of Martha and Mary. Ultimately, leisure is a continual communion with the Lord and a necessary part of a fulfilling life.
