Holy Saturday

Holy Saturday
Waiting after the cross and before Easter
Waiting for "God knows what?"
What will tomorrow bring?
It is true now as it was then.
Tomorrow
God knows,
what?



And this from The Upper Room today:

DELIVERANCE may not be external, of course. It was not so for Christ on Good Friday, nor for millions of souls since. But even in the worst circumstances, the waters of the soul may be sweetened to new life by surrounding the horror with remembrance of goodness and the reality of compassionate love. And who can ever predict what further resurrections may come from entrusting ourselves to such love?
