Yes, I was questioning it. I also looked into this homily. I’m not sure which post it is but I posted the full homily and I saw nothing about work on Sunday (unless I posted the wrong homily).

According to the Catholic Catechism (which I thought one or both of you would know by heart :) ), Sunday is not the Sabbath; it is the fulfillment of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, in English Saturday, which is the day Jesus observed as Shabbat.

Sunday - fulfillment of the sabbath 2175 Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that of the sabbath. In Christ's Passover, Sunday fulfills the spiritual truth of the Jewish sabbath and announces man's eternal rest in God. For worship under the Law prepared for the mystery of Christ, and what was done there prefigured some aspects of Christ:107 Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord's Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.108 2176 The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart to render to God an outward, visible, public, and regular worship "as a sign of his universal beneficence to all."109 Sunday worship fulfills the moral command of the Old Covenant, taking up its rhythm and spirit in the weekly celebration of the Creator and Redeemer of his people.
