Sounds like an EMP/War warning:




"you give us light in the darkness, we praise you for the galaxies stars planets and moon that shine in the night. we bless you for lamps and candles that illumine our communites. we thank you for the fires that warm our homes and energize our work. " - is the referring to night life before electricity

"we repent for the ways we polute the beauty of the night. the ways we extinguish the light of companionship. the ways we fail to share your warmth."- referring to how we "abuse" the night in todays world

"enlighten our darkness. be the dayspring for those suffering from addiction and illness. be the bright morning star for those who are greiving. be the sun of justice for those living under oppression and in poverty. be the cleansing fire for those who survive violence and warfare." - Basically bring back the old ways and also suffering as punishment. just think about the wording.
