"But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for 'love will cover a multitude of sins.'" 1 Peter 4:7-8
Holy Saturday is a very important day in Holy Week.
It is filled with both sadness and hope. It is a day where we remember that some people gathered together in order to figure out what was next to do with Jesus' body. It is a day where we gather together as well in order to proclaim our hope for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Although we miss Jesus on this day, for he is departed, he is not absent from us. The neat thing about Holy Saturday is that it is the opportunity for us to show love for one another. It's the time for us to start putting all of our learning to practice: to love one another.
On Holy Saturday, we recognize the full weight of Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross: it's the day where the body of Jesus does not take breaths. It is now that we realize that Jesus made a full on sacrifice for us. It is the ultimate sign of love.
Until Easter Sunday, remember that Jesus fulfilled every single one of his words he preached to us. He taught us how to live, and he died so that we wouldn't have to. Let the light of Jesus' love shine within you.
