A client of mine who is blind went up the stairs of his house, to go into the bedroom. I was struck by his ability to penetrate the darkness and to walk until you find the "light". He showed me the darkness like a container of light, a spiny sea urchin that leads into a delicious fruit. the Me ' presented as a picture of the night, the guide leads the light of day. The dark, the night became pregnant places of prayer. I thought the biblical encounters in the night, ' most striking example offers it to Sam who can capture the delicate voices of the night. From the Bible draw the voices, the sounds, sights and night meetings, and find out how the night becomes a special time in prayer and spiritual experiences. In prayer I need the master. They are like children who need to be taken by the hand to be conducted at ' meeting and the discovery of the Father, the green pasture of prayer. Jesus is the ' our only master, the giant of the prayer, the great master to imitate and follow. He amazes me in particular the meaning and significance of the night as the place, special time, the mother of silence and prayer. For me it is a world yet to be discovered, its density, its company, its significance. Discover the dark, live in, penetrate, as we jump into the desert. Enter the silence of the night, to go beyond the threshold of silence and darkness of the night. I do not know yet the treasures, pearls and precious wealth of the night. So many people live at night, fun, familiar with the night. It is sad to think that most Christians spend a good part of the night to follow television programs often express empty of content, effective expression of emptiness and nothingness. It is very sad to think that they can become couch potatoes. You just have to prove that you're better off making less spiritually. We people 'Order is made' We have reduced the spiritual life to " deal " be addressed during the day while there is a whole part of the life-time to discover, too ' it as God's time for God also to imitate and learn from Jesus praying at night, who spent his nights in prayer. In this period of my training is said to have a life "regulated" - but the night is so disconnected and taken out of the spiritual experiences and powerful moments of faith alive. I have not had the opportunity to play the complementary and alternative night time, maybe you spend in prayer in the churches. A ccettate the two great nights of Easter and Christmas, the liturgy has vacated our nights. Fortunately, there are the Disciples of the Divine Master (sisters) who develop this very dimension of prayer at night. Anch ' I said that I could only sleep at night and now, at a certain age I feel the need and I would say the duty to go beyond the darkness of night but it is all a way to start having difficulty. You can be born again when you are older? How-to at a certain age to overturn habits? But we can continue to be satisfied only day of prayer? It would be interesting to talk together and share needs and difficulties. The night is as empty as our hearts. Could be depicted as an empty vessel that needs to be filled with prayer and spiritual experiences, to discover a continent; an archaeological site to explore and bring to light. Like Moses, we arrive at the end of life, barely on Mount Nebo, from which we come out to the distant vision of the Promised Land. God is always ' beyond what I see, hear and touch, a world far from reach. The night also expressed many of our experiences and deprivation spiritual. We cry to the Lord filled the night of my heart, my dark, my silence.
