Thank You for the night You were born, because in the prison of that tiny mortal body, eternity came to be compressed.
Thank You for the evening You died, because Your infinite divinity entered the black hole of human weakness and death.
But above all, thank You for the morning You rose again. There, inside that tomb, You overturned all the laws of the universe, especially the ones that accused and condemned me. In that singularity rests the totality of my hopes, convictions, and arguments.
Thank You because I no longer need to see in order to believe. Nothing I can see with my eyes will ever be more real than the scene I have tried a thousand times to imagine: light everywhere, linens falling to the ground, and Your hands arranging the shroud. Somehow, the radiance inside that cave still illuminates me, even after all these centuries.
You are the only light that truly illuminates. The only bread that satisfies. The only water that refreshes from within. The only Way I want to travel. The only Truth I accept. The only Life worth living.
