[Heart-Rest]

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes (maybe after reading a short meditation by some spiritual writer and praying the Rosary, or something like that), my eyes start to close sleepily, no matter how much I try to resist that unwanted development.

Well, at least in one regard, that sort of makes us just like the apostles, doesn't it?   :-)

It’s easy to fall asleep if you’re seated. I know the feeling—it’s warm, the light is low, there’s a soft white noise from an air filter, you’re tired. But it’s easier to stay awake if you’re on your knees rather than seated. If you’re like me, middle-aged aches and creaks will keep you awake!
