“Darkness may be creative, for it is there that God plants his seeds to grow and his bulbs to flower.  It is at night that the sheep that are scattered are gathered into the unity of the sheepfold, when the children come home to their mother and the soul back to God.  Daylight deceives us, but as we awake at night, we get a new sense of values; darkness seems to tell the awful truth.  As the psalmist puts it: ‘Day to day pours forth speech and night to night declares knowledge’ (Ps 19:2).  Night has its wonders, as well as day; darkness is not final, except to those who are without God” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Cross-Ways)
