Black Saturday – Pray, reflect, wait.

As we commemorate Black Saturday, we are given a lot of readings for the Easter Vigil night.

The readings today show us how powerful God is and how loving he is to us. There are different things that God can say to us about these readings, so it’s best to pray as we read and reflect on them, especially today.

We imagine what the disciples were feeling during this time. What Mama Mary was feeling. Jesus, the messiah who they were with everyday, their leader and source of wisdom and strength, is crucified and dead. How dark, lonely and sad they must have felt.  When we feel these things, let us imagine what they were feeling at that time, and let us remember that God did not abandon them, ever.

The disciples were probably afraid and sad, but there must have been joyful anticipation in their hearts. Jesus told them he will rise again. Now, let us wait with joyful anticipation of Easter Sunday, when God’s promise will be fulfilled. Let us wait on God. Let us wait for God’s plans and promises to come into fruition in our lives. Let us serve him while we’re waiting.

May today, we remember that the loneliness and sadness brought about of things that are happening in our lives should be washed away by our joyful anticipation of God’s plans being fulfilled in our lives. His love and power is greater than any challenge we are facing. Let us pray and reflect that we always remember that.

God bless!
