Lord, save us and aid us while we are awake;
protect us while we are asleep;
that awake we may watch with Christ,
and asleep may rest in his peace.

let the light of your presence dispel
the shadows of the night;
and from the children of light banish
the deeds of darkness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Buechner says it like this: The incarnation is a kind of vast joke whereby the Creator of the ends of the earth comes among us in diapers. Until we too have taken the idea of the God-man seriously enough to be scandalized by it, we have not taken it as seriously as it demands to be taken.

18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know over what they stumble.
which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

Lord God, in the deepest night there rises the star
of morning, of birth, the herald of a new day you
are making, a day of great joy dawning in yet faint
shafts of light and love. I hear whispers of peace
in the stillness, fresh breezes of promise stirring,

The problem with apathy and its cynical cousins isn’t only that we’re left contenting ourselves with temporarily comforting illusions. The real trouble with dodging reality is that we end up missing the Light shining in the shadows, the Light which, no matter how faint it appears at a particular moment, cannot be overtaken by the darkness.
