“Instead of humbly following along behind Jesus, I've let myself get sidetracked by a myriad of temptations: overly ambitious creative projects, delusions about my own importance, worrisome relationships, secret small addictions, stubborn resentments, and a hundred forms of self-indulgence.”
― Paula Huston, Simplifying the Soul: Lenten Practices to Renew Your Spirit

“Today, try sleeping on the floor for the first hour of the night. Think about your own death. Ask God to help you ponder what is almost impossible to comprehend. Ask him for wisdom and insight, and most of all, hope in the promises of Christ. Then go off to your warm bed in a state of thanksgiving. Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: “Watch!” (Mk 13:35-37)”
