Maggie:
A belated comment - When the Lord gave us the “Our Father”, He told us to use words, “Abba.” which actually translate into, “Daddy”. He actually wanted us to climb into God’s lap like a bunch of 2 year-olds climbing into their “Daddy’s” lap to hear a story.
What does a 2 year-old do when he sits in his daddy’s lap talking and hearing a story? He falls asleep!
I think our Lord totally expects us to fall asleep while talking to our Daddy God and to Him and to Jesus’, and our, mother.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten into some very heavy intercessory prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament and then found myself dead asleep. almost as if God was saying, “Don’t worry, I know,”
So, I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you, esp since you’re spending time with our Lord instead of going home, taking a nap and not seeing him at all.
I hopes this helps alleviate some nerves.
In Christ, michael
