Waking up at 3:30am is just a normal and usual time that the monks in my community(including me) wake up for the first prayers at 4:00Am. Immediately after Vigils, I had to go to the dining room (called the refectory) to assist the monks in their early morning breakfast.
This experience was a tough one and taught me the virtues of patience and perseverance. Today, I would say, I have the right amount of patience and perseverance in dealing with the rudiments of my work as director of activities in a retirement home in North Hollywood.
