As from Holy Friday, after three o’clock in the afternoon, the Church turns to silence and meditation.
1. Cross. When you are crucified, whether by society, the family, or an institution, you feel pain, anxiety, fear and even loneliness. This is what we see in Jesus’s passion, what you will live in your passion. Yes, your passion.
2. Death. When death occurs, there must be silence. Because silence leads you to accept death and death leads you to silence. That is why when you go through a form of psychological death, or when a love or friendship relationship is already dead, it is important to make room for silence. It is important to allow for that moment of acceptance that something that has been unfolding in your life has come to an end. Silence implies internalizing and also incarnating. I believe that it is difficult to be silent, but once you manage it, your inner self and your heart speak with God. Maybe today you need to be silent in order to resurrect.
3. The tomb. The tomb will no longer be a place of death, rather, it becomes the womb of Life, where your eternity and mine will be conceived. This is the novelty for us. There will be moments in life that you will have to go unnoticed, to live as if you were dead, live in silence and even in oblivion, but it is a stage, part of a process. You have to look for your “tomb”, but considering the new sense, the new concept. The novelty here is that, if you were hurt and humiliated, if you were killed and crucified, you need your time of solitude, to get away from everything, to enter into your nothingness to be able to be completely reborn.
Awaiting the Resurrection…
