Excerpt from Watching an Hour, Vol. 1: A Book for the Blessed Sacrament
You will not read in our Lord's life much about His Sleeping. In fact the hours of Sleep are in a sense hardly a part of man's life. You have heard Jesus say, speaking Of Himself, The Son Of Man hath not whereon to lay His head. Jesus found it difficult to get a resting place for the night. The rare mention Of His Sleeping, then, makes famous the sleep of Jesus dur ing a storm on the lake Of Galilee. He was tired with the day's work which had been heavier than usual. When He entered the boat of the apostles to cross the lake, He lay down in the stern Of the vessel and rested His head on a pillow, which likely enough.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thoughtful journey through a series of connected meditations on the topic of the Eucharist, based on the Gospels.

The author also meditates on familiar themes including Jesus's portrayal as a father, mother, and child; the essential nature of water, wine, and oil in the Sacraments; and the dangers posed by various vices with language that is accessible and direct.
