Some months ago I posted A liturgy of the morning<\/em><\/a> by Pádraig Ó Tuama<\/strong>. Here is the companion piece, to launch our theme of the month, “Night”.<\/p>\n\n

A liturgy of the night<\/h3>\n
On the first night God said: ‘Let there be darkness.’ And God separated light from dark; and in the dark, the land rested, the people slept, and the plants breathed, the world retreated. The first night.
\nAnd God said that it was Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the second night God said, ‘There will be conversations that happen in the dark that can’t happen in the day.’ The second night.
\nAnd God said that it was Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on the third night, God said: ‘Let there be things that can only be seen by night.’ And God created stars and insects and luminescence. The third night.
\nAnd God said that it was Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on the fourth night, God said, ‘Some things that happen in the harsh light of day will be troubled. Let there be a time of rest to escape from the raw light.’ The fourth night.
\nAnd God said that it was Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on the fifth night, God said: ‘There will be people who will work by night, whose light will be silver, whose sleep will be by day and whose labour will be late.’ And God put softness at the heart of the darkness. The fifth night.
\nAnd God said that it was Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on the sixth night, God listened. And there were people working, and people crying, and people seeking shadow, and people telling secrets and people aching for company. There were people aching for space and people aching for solace. And God hoped that they’d survive. And God made twilight, and shafts of green to hang from the dark skies, small comforts to accompany the lonely, the joyous, the needy and the needed. The sixth night.
\nAnd God said that it was Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on the last night, God rested. And the rest was good. The rest was very good.
\nAnd God said that it was very Good.<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n
