A Day in the Life of Deacon Harold Morning Before my feet hit the floor, I offer my day to God: “Lord, thank you for allowing me to see the light of another day so that I may give honor, praise, and glory to yourmost holy name. Amen.” Afternoon I am not as productive in the afternoon, so I temper my work schedule with errands, overseeing the family budget, and managing my responsibilities at the parish. Evening At the end of the day, I pray evening prayer and include the psalms from midday prayer. On Thursdays, I spend an hour in adoration at a local parish and pray the Office at that time.
