Day Forty // April 3 // The Stilled Heart of Christ (Holy Saturday) “Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.” – Elisabeth Elliot –
Holy week is a roller coaster of emotions. From the highs of the Triumphal Entry with palms waving, to the testing and teaching, to the raw emotion of the Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane, to the brutal, gripping horror of the cross. And then, Jesus is buried. The story seems to be over. But Saturday arrives. The word for this day is: Lacuna. Lacuna is an empty space, a gap, a missing portion in a book or manuscript. In the great story of Jesus’ life, this is that empty space between the cross and the resurrection.
