Happy Saint Cyril and Methodius Day

Father,
You brought the light of the gospel to the Slavic nations
through Saint Cyril and his brother Saint Methodius.
Open our hearts to understand your teaching and help
us to become one in faith and praise.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Sleep, Glorious Sleep

Yeah!! Tomorrow I don't have to be anywhere until 5:00 pm mass. That means I don't have to set the alarm and can sleep in past 5:00 am. Most weekends I have to schedule things or run errands that I can't do during the week. That means having to set an alarm even if it isn't as early as I usually get up. I have a plethora of school work but I can sleep in. Life is good!! Funny what we get excited about as we grow older. Or maybe I really need to get a life!!
