Stephen Adly Guirgis

I don’t know why I got the benefit of my doubt, and Judas didn’t get help with his.

And what I want you to trust is the efficacy of divine love if practiced consciously.

I love you, Judas. And all I want—all I want—is to be not just near you—but with you.

You think you were with me for any other reason than that?! It was your heart, Judas. You were all heart. You were my heart! Don’t you know that?!

All I know is that you broke me unfixable

JESUS: I’m right here.
JUDAS: I would have never believed that you could have left me.

JUDAS: Why … didn’t you make me good enough … so that you could’ve loved me?

“God may reduce you on Judgement Day to tears of shame, reciting by heart the poems you would have written, had your life been good”
