Silent Saturday
I like the service of today very much, it is like an annual milestone for me. Despite this, this morning is kind of out time, every year it passes in the same, time-invariant fashion. Very, very strange day.
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and stand with fear and trembling, and take no thought for any earthly thing; for the King of kings and Lord of lords comes to be slain and given as food for the faithful.
Mourn not for me, O Mother, as you behold in the grave the Son, whom without seed you conceived in your womb; for I shall arise and be glorified, and as God I shall exalt in glory without end those who magnify you with faith and love.
