Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil)

Witnesses of hope
Through Christ’s Resurrection, we move from death to new life and become witnesses of hope. Humility begins with admitting brokenness and trusting God to bring renewal where we cannot. Adults might experience this by seeking support for mental health challenges, participating in spiritual direction, forgiving someone who has caused hurt, or reconciling with estranged family members. It can be uncomfortable to admit vulnerability or dependence on God, especially in a culture that prizes independence, but doing so opens the way to authentic transformation. Humility calls us to surrender control and trust God’s guidance in personal and professional life. We pray: Risen Lord, humble my heart to rely on your transforming love rather than my own strength.
