Holy Saturday: the body of Jesus sealed in the tomb, empty tabernacles in our churches, no services till this evening's Easter Vigil. A feeling of emptiness, loss and at the same time, anticipation. We know the "ending", but it's good to feel the longing and sense of loss. We might imagine as a did homilist of old, Jesus entering the world of the dead, greeting Adam, whom he created and whose son he became, taking his hand and awakening him from sleep to the new life his death purchased for him and all of us. He leads him to the paradise of eternal peace and glory, destined for us all. Yes, but we must wait, wait our turn, carry on the mission of Jesus to overcome the power of darkness and bring light and hope to a world in desperate need. He is with us. he invites us to be with him. May we find some quiet time today to do so and be better prepared for the celebration of the Resurrection and the continued living out of our Life with Jesus in the days ahead.
