“Holy Saturday”


My Friends,

Today is a day that we should not blog, speak or celebrate; after diligent research and many years of experience through Lent leading up to Easter, it is known that No Mass is in today's liturgy. This isn't a day to be sad, but rather one to be waiting with excitement and anticipation of Jesus conquering satan and evil. Death will no longer hold us; we are now able to be united with Jesus in Heaven after our death. Tomorrow will be a most joyous day for us to celebrate. Today prayer and silence; and in my prayer suggestion either the Rosary or the Stations will keep you close to Jesus, scripture and our Blessed Mother.


Stations of the Cross
