What moves me, O God, to love you
is not the heaven you have promised me:
It is not the awesome hell
which prompts me not to offend you.
It is you who prompt me, Lord:
It is seeing you nailed on the cross and insulted, seeing your wounded body,
it is the insults you have received and your death.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Holy Saturday is a day to pray for those who walk among us as the living dead. Their hope is placed in all things other than Christ and, for them, death will be ultimate, final, and hopeless.
On this holy saturday, the final day of Lent, let our faith be made stronger; let us be more assured that sin and death are conquered; let us know a little more of the light through the sometimes impenetrable shadows. Whether the Harrowing of Hell is literal or figurative, corporeal or spiritual, it has a message for all of us today: the highest response to evil is to free people from it. Let us rejoice that our Redeemer lives.
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.
The Liturgy for Holy Saturday speaks of a day when the earth is silent and still, because the King is asleep. Indeed, Holy Saturday is a day when the Church is called to meditate by the Lord's tomb, reflecting on the meaning of His suffering and death
As we meditate at the Lord's tomb today, let us see in that tomb all the children who have been killed by abortion. They are there. They share the suffering of death, which God Himself chose to share in order to destroy.
By His Incarnation, the Son of God joined Himself to all human beings, including the babies in the womb. Today, He joins all human beings, including aborted babies, in the darkness of the grave. Yet He allows that darkness to overcome Him only so that with dawn, He will overcome it -- forever.
Holy Saturday: the darkest day. 'There in the ground His body lay. Light of the world by darkness slain.' Feel it. Tomorrow will be sweeter.
In God’s eyes, love is never absent. In God’s heart, forgiveness is never impossible. In God’s embrace, no one is ever alone or forgotten. God Bless!
This is the most blessed Sabbath on which Christ sleeps, but on the third day he shall rise again. Therefore, O Lord our God, we sing to you a hymn, a song to your burial: By your burial you have opened for us the gates of life, and by your death you have slain death and hell. O God, our deliverer, blessed are you!
Let this season of LENT remind us all that this life we have and the material possessions we hold are just being LENT to us. We’re all passersby. We’re not immigrants here. We’re all pilgrims on the road. We bring nothing when we die. But we can leave behind the love we’ve shared, the hope we have given and the goodness we’ve done. May we all have a meaningful HOLY WEEK. GOD BLESS.
The resurrection gives my life
meaning and direction and the opportunity
to start over no matter what my circumstances.
shows us that God's love
is of deepest descent...
universal distribution and
of eternal duration.

May Lord bless you on
this auspicious day of Easter,
and May it be a new beginning
of greater prosperity,

Waiting, in prayer, for the final fulfillment. The raising from the dead, the Messiah in the grave. The tomb sealed by the authorities, guards stood watch the disciples, confused, waited, despairing, hoping Would the prophesy be made real. Would he rise? They waited. Lucky for us; we know the rest of the story revealed to them that first Easter 'morn.

“On Holy Saturday I do my best to live in that place, that wax-crayon place of trust and waiting. Of accepting what I cannot know. Of mourning what needs to be mourned. Of accepting what needs to be accepted. Of hoping for what seems impossible.”
