Waiting: Holy Saturday

 
There is a message in Holy Saturday which is sometimes missed.
 
WAITING IN SILENCE,
not knowing what the future holds, can be painful, especially at a time of grief.
At the same time it is an opportunity to grow in trust,
TRUST IN GOD'S LOVING PROVIDENCE.
 
 Angela knew deep sorrow early in life with the death of her parents and much loved sister. She waited; indeed she waited a very long time, before God's plans for her unfolded in the birth of the Company of St Ursula.
 
Angela's waiting in love enabled her to be a fountain  of God's love for others. Today, that fountain  of love continues to flow  all round the world through her daughters in every continent.
 
As we wait in trusting silence on Holy Saturday may we, in turn, be fountains of love for others.
