Begin with the Prayer of Abandonment.

Today’s theme is “night.”

As I write this, my family is watching Big Hero 6 after a long day of house hunting and packing. Tomorrow is Daylight Savings Time, and the prospect of losing an hour’s sleep is weighing heavily on all of us.

On the other hand, we are looking forward to the longer days that go along with this time change. And yet, there is something to be said for those cozy hours of darkness.

What is your favorite time of day? What is your spouse’s favorite time? What can you do today this week, to make this time of transition just a little bit easier?

Happy Lent!
