“This way of resurrection is scandalous. This hope seems like such a far reach. It did then for Mary and the disciples. It does now. But here’s what I will give witness to, on this night: God meets us in that hope. God is present there at the tomb, even before we can recognize this Risen One. It is a scandalous act to hope. And again and again, against all odds, God meets us there in the depths of darkness. God comes to us, under the crash of waves, calling our name. God hears our hope, pulling us from the waters and into new life.”
Liz Tichenor, The Night Lake: A Young Priest Maps the Topography of Grief

“Have you heard a grown man wail? It could carve caverns in stone, it could almost pull the dead up from their graves.”

“I needed to stop fighting my own broken heart. It was all right that I was broken, and I could settle there, stop punishing myself for it. I needed to just survive like that, -broken-. That's what I was. I needed to let it be, all of it, all broken, broken for all time.”
