Holy Saturday – at sea

It is peaceful and calm at sea. The sun is up. Clouds are fluffy. All is well and I wish you Peace. Today dawned quiet and yesterday was quiet too. I went to the little church on Saint Maarten and it was quite still with the Blessed Sacrament in repose at a side altar. Services were at 3pm but we had to be on ship at 4 so I couldn’t make service. I sat before the little altar and gazed at Jesus for 1 1/2 hours while I read from Magnificat. He gazed back at me.  People came in to worship quietly and I realize many people felt something different as we remember the Cross and the pain that our Creator God went through for us… and still we kill him with "unlove" and meanness. So today, we get a blessed day of quiet to consider the "words in red" as a country music song said… to consider the words that Jesus said… "Love one another." Today is "descended into hell" day… tomorrow is Resurrection! We all get both.. Believe it! God bless you. Peace be with you!!!
