Today, the altar is bare.
The Church is silent.
Christ is in the tomb.

Holy Saturday is the day that feels inverted—where everything that oncestood firm now appears undone. The altar is stripped, the tabernacle is empty,and heaven itself seems quiet.

But this is not defeat.

This is the hidden work of God.

In this reflection, we enter into the mystery of waiting… of grief… of aworld holding its breath between death and resurrection. What appears asabsence is, in truth, preparation. What feels like silence is the movement ofeternity beneath the surface.

Stand in the stillness.
Remain in the tension.
Because Sunday is coming.
