Black Saturday is often the quietest day of Holy Week, a day that sits between sorrow and hope. It’s a time of waiting, of uncertainty, and of faith in the unseen.
Today, let us reflect on what it means to sit in the silence, to trust in God’s promises even when the outcome isn’t clear. Life is full of moments where we feel lost or unsure, where hope seems distant. Black Saturday reminds us that it’s okay to have these moments of waiting, to acknowledge our doubts and fears, and to hold on to faith even when answers don’t come right away. It’s a day to remember that after every darkness, there is the promise of light.
As we spend this day in quiet reflection, let us pray for patience and trust—for ourselves and for everyone who is waiting for their own resurrection moment.
May we find comfort in knowing that hope is never truly gone, and that new beginnings are always possible.
