Meditation for Holy Saturday

The stone is rolled into place. Everything seems to have ended. But, it is the moment when everything begins.

It is the regrouping of the Apostles.  It is the rebirth of dedication, of hope.  Easter draws near.

At the same time, the hatred of Thine enemies surrounds the sepulcher, Mary Most Holy, and the Apostles.  But they do not fear.  In a little while the dawn of the Resurrection will break.

Let me not fear either, Lord Jesus, not fear when everything seems irremediably lost, not fear when all the power on earth appears to be in the hands of Thine enemies.

Let me not fear because I am at the feet of Our Lady where the true followers of Thy Church always regroup, for new victories.
