Il Sole di Mezzanotte The Midnight Sun

Il Sole di Mezzanotte

The Midnight Sun

One year, long ago,
the Sun rose at midnight.
From the heart of the Angel Star,
having reached its destination,
a golden ray emerged
and struck the one
of the Awaited Child,
born for us:
thus, a Son was given to us.
He would change the Law,
revolutionize the world,
tracing the Path of Ascent,
the climb toward the Father—
impossible to achieve
without His descent.
Later, He gave Himself,
offering His own example,
sacrificing Himself upon the wood of the Cross,
calling us all with a mighty voice:
present and absent, sightless and soundless,
physically alive,
spiritually asleep.
Each year we remember that night,
when the Sun rose at midnight.
With these few humble lines
I do not presume to preach to anyone—
only to wish a Rebirth within the heart,
drawing from the spiritual well
Love, Faith, and Knowledge,
for the celebration of Christmas.
