Beloved in Christ,
Today we gather in the deep silence of this Sabbath of Sabbaths, in which the Lord rests with His Divine Body within the Tomb. Now we keep watch, in eager expectation of the triumph to come.
We observe silence and stillness in the presence of this profound mystery, the Great and Holy Sabbath of our Lord’s Rest. The Church is muted and even in some, no lights are on, except on the Holy Altar.
