Liturgy of the hours without light

The lights go out in the church as the priests are about to celebrate the Divine Office.

~The Carthusians (silently) go out in search of candles.
~The Franciscans sit and pray for a miracle.
~The Benedictines don’t care, because they can say the whole thing by heart.
~The Redemptorists go to the Jesuits for help.
~The Jesuits think that this must be an exception, and that they must not have to celebrate the Divine Office in this case.
~The Dominicans decide that the time is ripe for a discourse upon the nature of light.
~The diocesan priest goes and changes the light bulb.
