In the hymn at Vespers or evening prayer, we invoke God with the title "Lucis Creator optime," which allows us to acknowledge the creation of light. Even as the sun descends and darkness once again envelopes the earth, the monks are reminded that the entire foundation of our world had been made in beauty and harmony. It is a beautiful reminder of that pre-existing Light in which we hope will one day we all be caught up.
