Jn 20: 1-9
Selfless & ceaseless is his love;
Wretched & wandering, yet love came for me.
Imbibed & immersed in the ocean of his love;
I recognized & recalled my first love.
He loved my being not my flesh;
He valued my presence not my possessions.
His love retained my dignity;
His words nurtured my spirit.
I wanted to be his forever,
I wanted to be the face of his compassion.
He sacrificed himself for my divinity,
I wish, I could be a sacrifice for him.
But, did I believe in his promise?
No, I thought, it would be an empty promise.
But empty tomb waited for me,
Find Missing, O what a little faith!
But my beloved found me,
Mary! She exclaimed: Rabboni!
How could I forget the sound of my beloved?
A sound that awakened me.
Conquered by his love and transformed as His witness,
I will whisper his love in the silence & solitude
And shout out in the noise and nuisances;
He has risen! He lives in me.
