Setting: The publisher approaches his supervisor to ask permission to attend the Memorial with his family. The supervisor allows him to leave an hour early but tells him to make sure everything is ready before he leaves and not to neglect his work.

Publisher: Good afternoon, boss. Do you have a moment?

Assistant: Yes, Carlos, tell me.

Publisher: I wanted to ask permission to leave a little earlier on Thursday. I would like to attend the Memorial of Christ's death with my family.

Assistant: The Commemoration of Christ's death? What is that?

Publisher: It is an event in which we remember the sacrifice of Jesus and what it means for us. As Luke 22:19 says: “Then he took a loaf of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, gave it to them, and said, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’”

Assistant: Ah, I see. What time is the event?

Publisher: It's at 6:30 in the afternoon, but I'd like to leave a little earlier so I can arrive on time and enjoy the event with my family. Thank you so much for your understanding and support.

Assistant: Okay, fine. You can leave an hour early, but make sure everything is ready before you go. I don't want the work to be neglected.
