A way of spending at least a part of Holy Saturday in prayer would be to recall some favorite title of Jesus and let it focus our gaze on the cross or on the tomb. Addressing Jesus, we can say:
You are the Word of God spoken to us, but You finished in the silence of death.
You are the Lamb of God, and You have taken away the sins of the whole world.
You are the Bread of Life, broken for us, and broken to give us eternal life.
You are the Light of the world, but You went into the darkness of death.
You are the Good Shepherd, and You died for your sheep.
You are the Way, and walked a way that led you to Calvary.
You are the Truth, denied and ignored by many but enlightening our world.
You are the Life that came to death but overcame death.
You are the image of the unseen God, and You became a crucified image, our Crucified God.
You are the Word of God spoken to us, but You finished in the silence of death.
You are the Lamb of God, and You have taken away the sins of the whole world.
You are the Bread of Life, broken for us, and broken to give us eternal life.
You are the Light of the world, but You went into the darkness of death.
You are the Good Shepherd, and You died for your sheep.
You are the Way, and walked a way that led you to Calvary.
You are the Truth, denied and ignored by many but enlightening our world.
You are the Life that came to death but overcame death.
You are the image of the unseen God, and You became a crucified image, our Crucified God.
