Black Saturday

Without Christ, life seems to have come to a halt

Especially for the Apostles.

Jesus is no longer with us in person.

Oh, how terrible it is to feel this pain and emptiness in our hearts.

That Christ’s going away has created for all of us

To live with this guilt that we could not save Christ's suffering and death lately;

We cannot forgive ourselves, even momentarily,

This won't be a planned journey...

Healthy, how are we to remain healthy in mind, body, and heart?

Happily, how will we tread our spiritual path?

Forgive us, dear Lord, please forgive us.

Forgive our sins, for we are lost

Our merriment means everything to us at all costs,

Oh, how often we forgot

How much you tolerated each one of us throughout ...
