There is a sense in which our lives are lived on the Saturday, waiting the final consummation of the Rule of God: we wait, our final resurrection is sure, our victory is certain, yet life can at times reflect the tomb:" You have thrown me into the lowest pit, into the darkest depths" (Ps 88:6).
So we pray: "Kyrie eleison" (Lord have mercy).
Saturday—the day-in-between, the day between earth and heaven, hurt and healing, waiting and receiving, faith and sight. It’s Saturday, but Sunday’s coming . . .
Today Hades cries out groaning:
“I should not have accepted the Man born of Mary.
“He came and destroyed my power.
“He shattered the gates of brass.
“As God, He raised the souls I had held captive.”
Glory to Thy cross and resurrection, O Lord! (Vesperal Liturgy of Holy Saturday)

Living on Saturday - the day of waiting
Was based on Mark 15:42-47 Burial
