There is no Mass during the day on Holy Saturday. The Church waits at the Lord's tomb in prayer and fasting, awaiting His resurrection. Tonight will be the great Easter Vigil.
On this day, I ask you to join me in prayer for all those who will be entering into full communion with the Church tonight. Perhaps there will be candidates and catechumens from your parish who will be baptized tonight and/or receive the other Sacraments of Initiation. It will no doubt be a most joy-filled occasion for so many families.
Watch and pray.
Father, may your blessing be upon all those who will enter into full communion with Christ's Church this night. We celebrate with all the angels and saints! Amen.
This link will take you to the readings for the Easter Vigil. There are nine readings tonight, each advancing the story of salvation. Please enjoy!
