Saturday of Holy Week (Holy Saturday)

Year of Saint Joseph

Year of the Family "Amoris Laetitia The Joy of Love"

Reading of the Day

RB: Ch 52 The Oratory of the Monastery

In peace I will sleep, and I will rest.

Something strange is happening-there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and He has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and the earth trembles.
(From an ancient homily on Holy Saturday in Office of Readings)

HEART OF JESUS, HOPE OF THOSE WHO DIE IN THEE,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
