Every day of Lent, Bishop Edward Malesic writes a Scripture reflection for the faithful. Follow the bishop on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Today the world is silent.
The Word of God rests in the tomb.
Creation holds its breath.
Yet God cannot remain silent forever. Death cannot imprison the Author of Life. Though the body of Jesus lies still, God is already at work—preparing Resurrection to new life while the world sleeps in sorrow.
Only God knows what tomorrow will bring.
But we know this: Even in the darkest silence, Easter is being prepared.
