Holy Saturday - Dead End! Endless Night!
The story has ended, dreams shattered, only memories of blighted hopes!
Holy Saturday - Emptiness, Meaninglessness, Hopelessness.
Holy Saturday - Dark Silence!
Holy Saturday - the long Sabbath of Silent Waiting, Sabbath of Incredulous Not Knowing...
In that Waiting something profound is being birthed, a brighter future is being shaped, but that birthing and that future are far from our consciousness, because our consciousness is flooded with images of failure, disappointment, Ending! That's all we are aware!
.......
But,
"...there is sunshine after the rain,
there is laughter after the pain!"
"As the crowds were appalled on seeing him -- so disfigured did he look that he seemed no longer human -- so will the crowds be astonished at him, ... for they shall see something never told and witness something never heard before: (Isaiah, 52-14-15)
"He has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has struck us down, but he will bandage our wounds; after a day or two he will bring us back to life, on the third day he will raise us and we shall live in his presence" (Hosea, 6, 1-2)
