A woman in Goma prays the rosary.
Holy Saturday is a day of quietness and waiting. In this liminal time, one of the darkest days for Jesus’ disciples, we stop and rest. Pope Leo XIV reflects:
“Now, the Son too, after completing his work of salvation, rests. Not because he is tired, but because he loved up to the very end. There is nothing left to add.
We struggle to stop and rest. We live as if life were never enough. We rush to produce, to prove ourselves, to keep up. But the Gospel teaches us that knowing how to stop is an act of trust that we must learn to perform.
Holy Saturday invites us to discover that life does not always depend on what we do, but also on how we know how to take leave of what we have been able to do.
At times we seek quick answers, immediate solutions. But God works in depth, in the slow time of trust.”
Prayer
Patient God,
lead us to take this time
to be, and not to do,
to rest and to trust.
Amen.
