Denis Lehane: Small sacrifice for a good night’s sleep

I had a mighty night of sleep on Saturday last. The extra hour in the bed was the makings of me.

And this extra hour of stretching and snoring was clearly evident in mass on Sunday morning too.

During Monsignor O’Callaghan’s sermon, not one yawn was heard from his congregation. He had a most attentive audience. We were all bright eyed and bushy tailed, and eager for prayers.
