On Holy Saturday the Church is, as it were, at the Lord’s tomb, meditating on his passion and death, and on his descent into hell, and awaiting his resurrection with prayer and fasting.
Holy Saturday is the day of the Paschal Triduum when the Virgin Mary remains in prayer beside the tomb, accompanying the Church in its sorrow after the Passion and Death of Christ. But this is a hopeful waiting, as we also prepare to celebrate His Resurrection at the "Easter Vigil". Thank you for strengthening our faith, Most Holy Mother Mary!
How to live Holy Saturday?
Catholics begin the day with a spirit of mourning, maintaining an atmosphere of silence and meditation. These are hours of waiting in which Catholics remember that Jesus was placed in the tomb and later descended into hell.
But we do not wait alone, for Our Most Holy Mother accompanies us in the moment when God seems absent. Today, the Virgin Mary stands firm beside the tomb of her Son, strengthening the faith, trust, and hope of all her children.
Later, as night falls, Catholics attend the Easter Vigil, the most important and special Mass of the liturgical year, where we joyfully celebrate the victory of our God, the blessed night when Jesus rose from the dead and crowned His work of salvation.
Prayer for today:
Lord, by the suffering of Christ your Son you have saved us all from the death we inherited from sinful Adam. By the law of nature we have borne the likeness of his manhood. May the sanctifying power of grace help us to put on the likeness of our Lord in heaven, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
