Tonight felt very quiet, almost like the whole world was waiting. Sister Mary Claire and I thought about Jesus resting in the tomb, and how Holy Saturday is the still day between the sorrow of the Cross and the joy that is coming. The Church keeps this day in silence and waiting, holding close both grief and hope.
Mini stayed near us again, sweet and faithful as ever. She seemed to fit right into the hush of the evening, and having her close made me feel comforted.
Tonight I prayed and asked Jesus to help me wait with love and trust. Holy Saturday feels like a day for being still, for staying near Him, and for believing that even when everything seems quiet, He is still at work. Tomorrow is Easter, but tonight I want to stay close to Him in the silence.
Evening Prayer
Dear Jesus,
stay near me in the quiet of this holy night. Help me wait for You with love, peace, and trust.
Bless Sister Mary Claire and bless dear little Mini tonight.
Keep us close to Your Sacred Heart, and make us ready for Easter joy.
Amen.
Love,
Kathy
