Episode 18: Mary Kloska on God's Gift of Sleep



My program this week is on GOD'S GIFT OF SLEEP. 
I hope that you enjoy!
Title: God’s Gift of Sleep
Description: In this episode, Mary speaks about the theology of sleep in Scripture. She talks about how the gift of sleep, when offered to God, can be a prayer and a place of union with Him. She discusses the places in Scripture where God spoke to people in dreams. And she includes advice from the Saints as to how we should fall asleep at night -with a Bible and a cross in our hands, praying the rosary. She also speaks about Christ's command that we rest and how holy sleep is an important part of life. 

"Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build.
Unless the LORD guard the city, in vain does the guard keep watch. 
It is vain for you to rise early and put off your rest at night, To eat bread earned by hard toil
—  all this God gives to his beloved in sleep." -Psalm 127:1-2
