Holy Saturday: silence and the tomb

Holy Saturday: silence and the tomb

Holy Saturday is the day when each of us stop in front of the tomb and also remembers all the love ones who lie like him in the same place; is a day of silence and absence.

Jesus and I miss my love ones; there is no Eucharist : the empty tabernacle is a blow to the heart.

And for a little, but enough to make me understand what my life would be if it was not always so.

So I like to say, we are now paused.

Jesus rested in the tomb, each type of task is finished is dead, it seems there is nothing more to do.

As the silence surrounds the meaning of the word, so the break preserves the meaning of the action. 

The act without pausing to action devalues ​​himself; to any kind of act : even the Church to action.

If you stop working when you do not know what to do and you get the fear of emptiness and nothing you seem so interesting and 'full' as they work, it means that you are already poisoned.

So it is with the Church; when to close the oratory, do not meet , do not pray, do not celebrate just seems empty, then it means that the Church already lost the meaning of what he does.

If life is music, music is rhythm and pauses.

Holy Saturday teaches us to take breaks: break in relations with others, break with his own anxieties, fun and rest break in, break even in prayer.

On the seventh day God created the rest and pause.

For our lives and for our faith this teaching of Holy Saturday is not trivial.
