Holy Saturday asks us not to hurry past the words “he was buried.” Christ truly entered death, yet the grave could not make the final claim. Because his saving work is finished, the Church can wait in hope, trusting the God who raises the dead.
A Good Friday sermon on John 18–19. From the garden to Golgotha, one word reorders everything: "tetelestai" (paid in full).
On Maundy Thursday, Jesus has his Last Supper with his disciples, and humbly washes His disciples' feet and gives the new commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you” — the heart of sacrificial service.
Palm Sunday: “Hosanna” turns to “Crucify”. Our hearts mirror the crowd's fickleness. Yet the humble King rides to die for us anyway. Follow Him through Holy Week.
At the Annunciation, God acts first: he sends, speaks, promises, and gives. Mary receives his Word in faith, and the eternal Son takes our human nature for the saving work that will lead through the Cross to the glory of the Resurrection.
