Reflect
So many of us struggle to get a simple good night’s sleep. We are pulled awake in the dark by worries about our lives, our family, our world. Can we give these burdens to Christ to hold? Yes! He asks for them.
Pray
Dear God,
tonight, perhaps I will hold
a rosary in my hand
as I turn off my light,
knowing that, in the same way that
I cup the beads,
you hold me safe.
Help me rest, God, I am so weary-
and have been for a while.
I am so in need of your love.
Act
Listen to an “Ave Maria” before bed tonight. Feel the melody tuck you in. Play it twice if you need to.
