Black Saturday
John 19:40-42
They
took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according
to the Jewish burial custom. Now in the
place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new
tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the
tomb was close by.
And bowing his head, he handed over the
spirit.
And then, there was silence. Everything has happened for a reason. Everything has happened as promised.
The lamb of God has taken away the sins of
the world. Grant us peace.
Jesus has given us this peace – peace of
mind, peace at heart, inner peace. Jesus
Christ is our peace, and in his death and resurrection, he gives God's peace to
our world. Because we have been gifted
with God's peace in the risen Christ, we are called to our own peace and to the
making of peace in our world.
Have that peace in your heart. Close your eyes once in a while and feel the
silence, being away from it all, from all the sufferings, from all the pain,
from all the temptations.
For tomorrow, we will face a new life in
Him.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, let the light of your
Gospel of love so shine in the world that it may be transformed into a worthy
home for all your children of every race and country. Help me to surrender my life to the gift of
salvation offered by Jesus on the cross.
I pray that I will always be faithful to living the victory over sin He
offers me through my commitment to Him.
Amen +
Let us sing to the Lord; he has covered himself in glory.
