Holy Saturday, April 19, 2025

Scripture: Luke 23:50–56

Devotion:
Jesus has been buried. The women wait. The disciples hide. Hope seems sealed in the tomb. Holy Saturday is the day in between—the silence between sorrow and joy, the pause between Good Friday and Easter.

This day honors all the “in-between” places of our lives—the waiting rooms, the quiet griefs, the uncertainty after loss. It tells us that God is present even in silence. That even when nothing is happening on the surface, resurrection is being prepared.

Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is to wait. To rest. To believe that the stone isn’t the end.

Action Steps:

  • Light a candle tonight as a sign that even in darkness, light is coming.
  • Let yourself rest today—truly rest. No striving. Just trust.
  • Write a prayer for something that feels “in the tomb” in your life.

Prayer:
God of the silent day, I don’t always understand the waiting. But I trust You are still at work. Hold me in the quiet until the dawn breaks. Amen.

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: I wait in silence…

Exhale: Trusting resurrection.
