Heschel's thoughts on Sabbath and Eternity

"The law of the Sabbath tries to direct thebody and the mind to the dimension of the holy."
What is the Sabbath? Spirit in the form of time.With our bodies we belong to space; our spirit, our souls, soar to eternity, aspire to the holy. The Sabbath is an ascent to the summit."

"The seventh day is a reminder that God is our father, that time is life and the spirit our mate.
