Rest is an important necessity for all people. Physically, mentally, and spiritually we have limitations and should have time and ways to recharge, relax, and unwind. The \u201cneed for celebration is inherent in our humanity\u201d(Bl. John Paul II,\u00a0Dies Domini\u00a0<\/em>1998, 4) and with classes out and longer days ahead, you may find yourself with some extra time on your hands. This summer is the perfect opportunity to read a good book or enjoy a summer movie with friends and family. Below are a few recommendations.<\/p>
