HOLY SATURDAY A TIME OF SOLEMN ANTICIPATION IN JESUS' PROMISE...............

Holy Saturday, the day bridging the Passion and Death of Good Friday and the Glorification and Resurrection, of the Redeemer of Humankind, is a quiet day that results in a highly celebratory night.  Other than rehearsals for the Rites of Christian Initiation and sacramental Confessions, the only Liturgy celebrated today on Holy Saturday, is the Easter Vigil Service tonight after dark.  It is a day of preparation for the Great Feast of Easter.  Our Eucharistic celebrations of the pinnacle of the Paschal Mystery Easter Mass on the Solemnity of Easter, and preparations for whatever Easter Meal we will share tomorrow, are key focuses today.  May the quiet serenity of the Sacred Triduum's day between the days be abundantly, gracefully yours..............fr.tdp
