    Dear People, I have to run this by you to see if I stand alone here or not, but I'm having some pretty intense experiences. My prayers have intensified (thanks to St. Margaret Mary) but along with them so has my examination of conscience. It's waking me up, things that I missed during the day, and I'm seeing all the shortcomings and personality defalts. When I pray during this experience, the prayers are very deep and intense, but sleep is nearly impossible.
    Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

    Lee,
    I have had this experience, but also I feel Our Lord is not looking at my defects but at my little victories.
    Mary

    Its not my concience but I am having the most shocking time sleeping lately. On Friday I spent most of the day in bed with a terrible migraine headache because I had not slept the previous night. A friend in my prayer group is having the same problem.

    It might just bea coincidence, though I noticed a little article on this very thing in Spirit Daily last week.

    Well, regarding the examination of conscience, I am not having those same experiences. But regarding sleep, I most definitely am. I have splitting headaches over the past 4-5 days maybe, and I don't feel rested after sleep. I yawn all day long and feel so tired and exhausted. I wonder if it is a form of suffering that is useful for the Lord...

    As I hit the sack late...

    I'll pray for you all!

    In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
