St. Seraphim of Sarov says

Sleep is hard to come by, and I read this during my wakefulness, from a biography of St. Seraphim:

"It sometimes happens that someone who has been prevented from making his communion through unavoidable circumstances may receive the true benefit of the holy Mysteries donated invisibly by the angel of the Lord. "

===========

and from the Bright Wednesday Epistle as I listen to that most beloved voice sing "let us lay aside all earthly cares..."

 25 For David says concerning Him:
‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
Acts 2:25-28
