Today's Gospel - Holy Saturday

Why look among the dead for someone who is alive?

Luke 24: 5.

Luke 24: 1-12.

1 On the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared.

2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,

3 but on entering they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 As they stood there puzzled about this, two men in brilliant clothes suddenly appeared at their side.

5 Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, 'Why look among the dead for someone who is alive?

6 He is not here; he has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee:

7 that the Son of man was destined to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.'

8 And they remembered his words.

9 And they returned from the tomb and told all this to the Eleven and to all the others.

10 The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. And the other women with them also told the apostles,

11 but this story of theirs seemed pure nonsense, and they did not believe them.

12 Peter, however, went off to the tomb, running. He bent down and looked in and saw the linen cloths but nothing else; he then went back home, amazed at what had happened.

Holy Saturday is marked by profound silence. The Churches
are stripped, and no special liturgical celebration is held except the Easter
Vigil. Waiting for the great event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Christians persevere with Mary in praying and meditating. Saturday of
silence, meditation, forgiveness and reconciliation will lead Christians to
the Easter Vigil.

To Ponder

'Stood his mother'- sort of sums it all: up close, uncertain, distressed, vulnerable, standing with, there.

Salve Regina

Salve Regina
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.
Hail, our life, our sweetness,
and our hope.
To you do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Your eyes of mercy towards us.
And after this, our exile,
Show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
