Podcasts about Holy Saturday

What do we do with Jesus's burial? Why does Holy Saturday matter for our faith? And what hope can be found in the silence between the cross and the resurrection? In today's episode, Jeff shares how Luke 23:50–56 reveals that Jesus's burial is not a detail to bypass, but a powerful reminder that no grave is too deep for his presence and redemption.

Five Saturdays of Reparation This conference explores the rich history, theology, and spiritual meaning behind the Five First Saturdays Devotion . . . . . . associated with Sister Lucia and Our Lady of Fatima. The conference explains that devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturdays long predates Fatima, arising from the Church's meditation on Holy Saturday, when Mary alone remained steadfast in faith while Christ lay in the tomb. Over centuries, Christians began dedicating Saturdays . . . and especially First Saturdays . . . to honoring Mary's role in salvation history, meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, and growing spiritually through communal prayer. The conference highlights how the Five First Saturdays requested at Fatima are not a completely new devotion, but a focused renewal of older Marian traditions, emphasizing fervor over routine and intentional prayer over empty habit. Why Five First Saturdays? The conference further explains the spiritual practices requested for the Five First Saturdays: Holy Communion, Confession, praying the Rosary, fifteen minutes of meditation on the mysteries, and offering these acts in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The conference also explores the five types of Reparation. The devotion is presented as both deeply personal and profoundly catechetical, inviting believers to understand and defend Marian doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Mary's motherhood of God and the Church. The reflection also stresses the importance of reverence, beauty, and intentionality in Catholic devotion, warning against mediocrity and neglect in honoring sacred things. Ultimately, the Five First Saturdays are portrayed as an act of love, reparation, and perseverance, with the promise that the Blessed Mother will assist the faithful with the graces needed at the hour of death. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Views of the Official New York State Fatima Pilgrim Image

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/13/26), Hank resumes his overview of the days of Holy Week, arriving at Holy Saturday, which was observed by the Eastern Church this past weekend. Holy Saturday marks one of the most enigmatic of all mysteries—the mystery of Christ's descent into Hades. Being “put to death in the body,” says Peter, he was “made alive by the spirit through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it, only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also.” Peter here reminds us of two great and glorious truths. First, that we are saved through water, and second, that the descent of Christ into Hades inaugurates resplendent triumph. A triumph by which Christ “tramples down death by death.”Hank also answers the following questions:When a person is baptized, do they become a new creation right away, or is it an ongoing process? Debra - Stony Plain, AB (15:49)What provision does the Bible make for young children or some adults who don't have the mental capacity to accept Christ? Robert - Tallahassee, FL (21:07)I have a cross pendant that has discolored over time. I bought a replacement, but what should I do with the old one? Paul - San Diego, CA (23:36)

President Trump leads the world in being betrayed. It's all planned. Every story the public consumes has a supply chain. Re-branding is a strategy. MATHEW 27.3 comes to mind. Influencers got big money to shape the narrative. How the doctrine operates at ground level. The most effective censorship means managing reactions. influence is often solidifying a prevailing version. Blueprint plans on a napkin among the crab legs. The networks elevate only those who are safe. Judas came with a kiss. Motivated by the inner circle. Networks approach those who are hungry. Christian outreach gets paid. Division dressed in righteousness. Trading reputation for money. Harvesting a listening community never works. The field of blood purchased with 30 pieces of gold. When does it fell like enough? Truth answers to no one. What makes people turn for coin? Every Judas has a wound. Betrayal to yourself is the ultimate evil. Their ultimate collapse is inevitable. Never chose network over community. It's all performed and not organic. Complete fracture is the outcome. Adding weight to what will eventually collapse. Repenting is a forward move. The people working in the wilderness are the ones who are truly free.

A sermon for Holy Saturday from Cornerstoner Joshua Burdette.

Happy Easter Monday, friends!  This episode is full of our favorite kind of conversation: real life, real faith, and a little bit of everything in between. We talk about our Easter traditions, what Holy Saturday teaches us about rest and waiting, and wrestle with a question that really matters: "what's the big deal about Jesus?" We keep coming back to this: without the resurrection, there is no Christianity. It's the reason for our hope and the foundation of everything we believe. You'll also hear about Fran's upcoming NYC ministry opportunity, our new memory verse (Jeremiah 17:7–8), and a few lighthearted, unexpected moments that make this episode feel like you're just sitting at the table with us. We're so thankful you're here laughing, learning, and growing with us as we follow Jesus in our everyday lives.   Each episode is recorded on the campus of Union University!

There are seasons in the life of faith when heaven feels quiet — when you've prayed earnestly, and yet no answer seems to come. In those moments, it's easy to wonder if God is truly listening, or if He even cares. In this episode, Whitney Hopler tenderly reminds us that silence from God is not the same as absence from God. We are not the first to sit in that waiting place, and we will not be the last. Holy Saturday — the day between the crucifixion and the resurrection — was the original day of sacred waiting. The disciples clung to a promise they couldn't yet see fulfilled, not knowing that the greatest miracle in history was already unfolding in the silence. The same is true for us. Whatever you are waiting on God for today — a restored relationship, a healing, an open door — He is not idle. He is working. Psalm 27:14 calls us not to a passive, resigned waiting, but to an active, hope-filled trust. The silence you're sitting in right now may be the very space God is using to prepare you for something wonderful. Be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. Today's Bible Verse "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." — Psalm 27:14, NIV Ponder Today Feeling like God is silent doesn't mean He is absent — He is always at work in your life, even when you can't see or hear it. Holy Saturday reminds us that the disciples were just one day away from the greatest miracle the world had ever seen, even while sitting in grief and uncertainty. Psalm 27:14 calls us to an active kind of waiting — one marked by strength and hope, not passive resignation. The silence of God is often the space He uses to prepare us for what's next — His timing is always better than ours. You can trust a God who kept His promise on Easter morning to be faithful in answering every one of your prayers at just the right time. Today's Prayer Dear God, even though I haven't heard from You, I choose to trust that Your perspective is greater than mine and Your timing is perfect. Forgive me for the times I've mistaken Your silence for absence. Help me remember that even when I can't see You moving, You are working behind the scenes. Strengthen my faith while I wait, and fill me with hope as I look forward to how You will answer. Thank You that this silence is only temporary. I love You. Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer?

After Jesus' death, the religious leaders took His prophecy of resurrection seriously and acted to prevent any deception, while His own disciples and followers failed to fully grasp or believe His words. Meanwhile, the women prepared to properly anoint His body, still expecting Him to remain dead. During the time between His death and resurrection, Jesus entered the realm of the dead, specifically the place of the righteous, where He proclaimed victory, demonstrated His authority over death, and fulfilled prophecy. Through this, He not only triumphed over spiritual powers but also secured authority over death and the grave, ultimately making a way for the righteous to be brought into the presence of God rather than the place of the dead. __________ Matthew 27:62–66 NLT, Mark 16:1 NLT, John 20:16–17 NLT, Psalm 16:10 KJV, Acts 2:31 KJV, Acts 2:29–32 NIV, Luke 16:22–23 KJV, Luke 16:22–26 NLT, Luke 23:40–43 NLT, 1 Peter 3:18–20 NLT, 2 Peter 2:4 NIV, Jude 1:6 NIV, Genesis 6:1–4 ESV, Genesis 6:4 KJV, Jude 1:14–15 NIV, Revelation 1:18 NLT, Ephesians 4:8–10 NLT, 2 Corinthians 5:6–8 NLT, Acts 7:55–56,59 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

In this Holy Saturday meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Psalm 130: “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,and in His word I put my hope.” Holy Saturday—sometimes called Silent Saturday—is the day between the crucifixion and the resurrection. Scripture tells us very little about this day. Jesus’s body lay in the tomb. The disciples were scattered. Grief, confusion, and doubt must have filled the air. It must have felt like hope had been buried. And yet… God was still at work. Holy Saturday reminds us that there are moments in our own lives that feel unfinished. Prayers unanswered. Healing delayed. Restoration not yet visible. We find ourselves in the in-between space—waiting. Psalm 130 gives language to that waiting. It begins with a cry from the depths. It acknowledges our need for mercy and forgiveness. And it ends with a declaration of hope: “I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.” In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to bring your own silent Saturday before God. Through slow readings of Psalm 130, you will be guided to cry out honestly, remember God’s forgiveness, and renew your hope as you wait. Holy Saturday teaches us that silence does not mean absence. Waiting does not mean God is inactive. Resurrection may not yet be visible—but it is coming. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

Gospel Matthe 28:1-10 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow. The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men. Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you.” Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” Reflection The reaction of the angel is very interesting. Can you imagine walking to a place where you thought the person was still there? You knew he was dead, and you encounter a figure, a beautiful young man who simply says, He's not here, He's risen. And yet they were told that would happen. And so they were totally amazed. And the response is so interesting coming from the angel, why are you amazed? Did you not believe it? Did you not understand Jesus? And of course, that is the point. They did not understand Jesus' teaching. They didn't fathom the fullness of what he would be until those many days, those beautiful 40 days after he rose and taught them, awakened them to the mystery of the God that wants to live within them. Closing Prayer Father, your promise to be with us, to be in us, to be for us, to forgive us. All these things are still struggles for us to be able to fully fathom what they are. Bless us with the kind of wisdom, the longing that Eve had at the very beginning of the human races relationship with God. She longed for wisdom. That's what we still need, the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. And we asked this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

April 4 | Holy Saturday (Matthew 27:62-28:6) by Christ Covenant

Father Ernie De Ciccio

Time seems to slow to a crawl when we find ourselves waiting for something ... even when we know it will come. Again, we imagine what it would have been like for those whose hopes had seemingly been crushed by the crucifixion of the one in whom they'd placed all their hopes. They didn't know. We wait because we know... they were lost. They didn't understand, so they didn't know there was anything for which to wait. Don't take the waiting for granted, use it as another opportunity to prepare for what happens when the stone is rolled away.  Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series.  Download the Transcript.  Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, April 4, is Holy Saturday (from Sabbatum Sanctum, its official liturgical name), the day of the Lord's rest. Jesus rests in peace in the grave, and the faithful sit near and mourn, after the intense battle against sin and death, and now a victorious triumph over evil. It's a calm and quiet day.The Church, united with Mary and the apostles, remains in prayer and faith at the Lord's tomb, meditating on his Passion and Death, on his Descent into Hell, and awaiting his Resurrection.The body of Jesus lies in the tomb, but his soul has descended into hell, or to the realm of the dead, to announce liberation from darkness to his ancestors and deliver the righteous.The body of the Church is represented in the Blessed Virgin Mary: she is the "credentium collectio universa" (Congregation for Divine Worship,The mortal wounds on His Body, the scars of intense suffering, remain visible. Jesus' enemies are still furious, attempting to erase the very memory of the Lord by lies and slander.No liturgies are celebrated until the Easter Vigil at night. The silence of Holy Saturday ends at sundown with the Easter Vigil, which marks the start of Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.The Easter Vigil signifies the transition from darkness to light and from death to life.It's the longest and most dramatic service of the year; it often lasts over two hours, depending on the number of readings and baptisms. It features four parts:• Service of Light: Begins in darkness, with a fire lit outside the church to light the Paschal Candle, symbolizing Christ breaking the darkness of sin.• Service of Readings: Multiple readings from the Old and New Testaments recount salvation history, from creation to resurrection.• Service of Initiation and Baptism: The blessing of water, used for baptismal regeneration and renewal of our baptismal vows. We see the celebration of baptisms, with those being baptized, symbolizing new life, wearing white Garments and holding lit candles.• Service of the Eucharist: The first mass of Easter, marking a joyous celebration of the Eucharist.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Read OnlineThough the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was not offered yesterday, the faithful received Holy Communion during the commemoration of the Lord's Passion. Today, however, the Church falls into profound silence. No liturgical services are celebrated during the day; the tabernacle remains empty, and the Church waits in expectant stillness for the joyful proclamation of the Resurrection. This silence invites us to enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ's descent to the dead and to reflect on the unfathomable depths of His sacrifice.For those who attend daily Mass, this day often brings a sense of emptiness—a longing for the Eucharist that reflects the soul's spiritual hunger. Yet, in Her wisdom, the Church withholds both the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist. Why? Because Holy Saturday, in itself, communicates a distinct grace. The stillness of this day is not a deprivation but a profound way of receiving; a gift offered in silence, inviting us to trust, wait, and hope.The Triduum reveals that the liturgical year itself is a source of grace, with each of these three sacred days unfolding the Paschal Mystery in stages. Saint Thomas Aquinas explains it this way: “The figure ceases on the advent of the reality. But this sacrament is a figure and a representation of our Lord's Passion, as stated above. And therefore, on the day on which our Lord's Passion is recalled as it was really accomplished, this sacrament is not consecrated” (Summa Theologica III.83.2). In other words, Good Friday, through our participation in the Lord's Passion, communicates to us the full grace of His redemptive sacrifice, making the celebration of the Eucharist unnecessary on that day.Similarly, Holy Saturday bestows a unique grace that draws us into the mystery of waiting with hopeful anticipation. Though no liturgical celebrations occur until the Easter Vigil, this day of silence invites us to rest in the hope of Christ's ultimate triumph. We are called to remain with Our Lady and the disciples in their vigil, trusting that even in the stillness, God is at work and the promise of the Resurrection will soon be fulfilled.In our lives, hopeful anticipation is an essential spiritual gift, offering the grace to persevere through trials, endure hardships patiently, and remain steadfast in hope, no matter the struggles we encounter. Hope is one of the three theological virtues, grounded in faith and inspiring us to put faith into action, which gives rise to charity—the greatest of all virtues. Without supernatural hope, we cannot fully attain or sustain charity.Yet, hope is far more than wishful or optimistic thinking. Supernatural hope is anchored in God's promises, received through faith, and nurtured by prayer and trust. Our Blessed Mother exemplifies this hope. On Holy Saturday, her heart was not filled with doubt but with an unshakable hope that moved her to keep vigil in prayer, awaiting the fulfillment of her Son's promise. This hope did not end in mere anticipation but blossomed into supernatural charity—a love rooted in God's will, bearing fruit even in the face of grief and uncertainty.Reflect today on the silence of Holy Saturday. As you do, consider the anxieties, impatience, or hardships you might be enduring. Pray for hope in the midst of these trials, and anticipate the fulfillment of God's saving promise in your life. Trust Him, wait on Him, and allow your faith and hope to fill you with the love of God and others, necessary to pass through Christ's Passion into the glory of His Resurrection.My silent Lord, as You lay in the tomb, Your body rested while Your spirit descended to those faithful souls who had died before You. For them and for all who would follow in faith, hope, and love, You opened the gates of Paradise. On this day of silent anticipation, fill me with hope, especially when I am tempted to despair. May I place all my trust in You and receive the abundance of Your grace this Holy Saturday. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Jesus Christ lying death in his grave, with his mother MarySource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

What happened between Good Friday and Easter Sunday? The Apostle's Creed says Jesus descended into Hell before he rose again. But what does that mean? How could this neglected doctrine help us better understand all that Jesus did for us during Holy Week?  For more, check out Matthew Emerson's book, He Descended to the Dead! 

He was born in Siberia in 1797 to a clerical family, and became a married parish priest in Irkutsk. A devout explorer, John Kriukov, told him of the great spiritual needs among the Russian and native peoples in Alaska, then Russian territory. Moved to serve Christ in this very difficult environment, he and his family arrived in Alaska in 1824. He quickly learned the Aleut language and worked humbly and tirelessly among the Aleuts. His spiritual classic, An Indication of the Way to the Kingdom of Heaven, was originally written in Aleut and later translated into many languages.   While he was visiting Russia in 1838, his wife died; one year later he was tonsured a monk and given the name of Innocent (he had been Fr John Veniaminov). Almost immediately after his tonsuring he was, without warning, raised to the rank of Bishop of all Eastern Siberia and Russian America, probably the largest diocese in the world at that time. Returning to Alaska, he continued his missionary work with vigor, often traveling among Aleut and Tlingit settlements in his own kayak. Wherever he went, he found the Alaskan people hungry for the faith, and his labors bore rich fruit which is still obvious today: Alaska has more Orthodox churches per capita than any other state.   In old age he was made Metropolitan of Moscow, head of the entire Russian Orthodox Church. His concern for Christian mission was undiminished, and as Metropolitan he created the Orthodox Missionary Society. He reposed on Holy Saturday of 1879.
