Ugh, I am really messing up this Lent. I decided to give up an hour of sleep by getting up early and using the extra time to do the Divine Office. So far I've only done it truly successfully 3 times. The rest of the time I'm waking up, praying, and then going back to sleep for 1/2 an hour. A couple of times I even overslept! At least once I just failed completely by hitting the snooze button for an hour. And so what did I do today? I took a nap. Now it's nearly midnight and I am wide awake. What are the chances of me getting up in 6 hours? I know sacrifice is the whole point but why did I pick sleep? It's so haaaaarrrd! I hope you are all having a far more successful Lent then I am. I'm really going to use all my will to get up tomorrow. Good night!

You are not alone, Cassie! I have had troubles staying to my Lenten additions. The Rosaries are going well but the water and gym are more difficult. I pray and ask forgiveness and start again. The Lord completely understands, I feel. We are still only human - with all our failings. Today is another day!
how about half hour before bed and half in the morning? I like praying late at night best, makes me peaceful.
