After Mass this evening I was in adoration, and was thinking of the Apostles and Jesus in the garden, and how the Apostles kept falling asleep. And the one thing that kept popping into my head was the chorus of "How to Save a Life" by The Fray. And it actually does fit. Here's the lyrics:
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
It does fit actually, from the perspective of the Apostles. Yeah, that hit me hard. I really can feel what they must have felt, seeing Jesus dead on the cross. They must have felt dead, in despair, hopeless. They didn't know Jesus would rise, they thought he was gone. They had devoted their lives to him, and he was dead. They must have felt purposeless. It's just a hopeless feeling. And they hadn't even been able to stay up in their last hours with him. That must have just killed them inside. It's horrible. That's about all I came up with on that. Also, a friend of mine is having some hard times right now, so could you all please pray for them? Thanks. That's it for now. It's 10:13 and you are loved!

Wow...that's good.
I know exactly what you mean. My confirmation class stayed up for the Maundy Thursday vigil until midnight. That was a powerful experience!
Listen to Little House and Trust Me and see if you can find other spiritual thingies...
