Praying in the darkness of night

Link is to a goos site that discusses praying in the darkness of the night...an excerpt:


Night is a time of anguish and fear for many, when pain, guilt, fear and despair can seem almost unendurable. Many of the psalms of Vigils call out to God from the depths of distress, for mercy, help, justice, victory over evil. Praying them, we give voice to the cries of the poor and troubled, those who are unable to turn to God themselves, or who do not even believe in God. We identify with those who are suffering, and call out with them and for them.
