夜幕降臨，萬物沉寂之時，教會歡慶並等候耶穌的復活。

洗禮亦是如此。我們進入一個神祕的夜晚，這夜晚就是耶穌的死亡，因為我們發現只有那黑暗──耶穌的黑暗──才能預備永生。

那黑暗象徵著與耶穌一同被釘在十字架上的生活方式，一種與祂一同藏身於天主內的生命。

我們需要反思，為何我們選擇收到洗禮，而按照洗禮所表達的生活方式生活，而非其他的生活方式。我們將稱自己為有福之人，並邀請眾人與我們一同守夜，這守夜雖只持續一夜，卻關乎我們整個人生。

During nighttime, while all is dark, the church celebrates and awaits the Resurrection of Jesus.

The same happens in baptism. We enter in a mysterious night, which is the death of Jesus, because we discover that only that darkness, Jesus’ darkness, prepares eternal life.

That darkness is a way of living as nailed to his cross, a life hidden with him in God.

We need to reflect about why we chose baptism and not other ways of life. We will call ourselves blessed and invite many to join us in this vigil, a vigil of one night and of the whole life.
