...St. Thomas More (from The Word Among Us):
Home life was disciplined and devout, with morning and evening prayers and Scripture reading during dinner.
Reflecting on his own experience, Thomas recommended that a busy person should find some quiet spot, “as far from noise and company as possible,” where he or she could be alone with God every day. More himself found that quiet time by rising at two in the morning for personal prayer. Then followed study, desk work, and daily Mass. (He did go to bed at nine in the evening and took a nap after lunch.) When possible, he would spend the whole of Friday praying alone before a crucifix.
