March 30 – HOLY SATURDAY

The Word of the Lord (Mark 16, 1 – 7)

Once the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salòme bought aromatic oils to go and anoint him. Early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb as the sun rose.
They said to each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” Looking up, they observed that the stone had already been rolled, although it was very large.
Having entered the tomb, they saw a young man, sitting on the right, dressed in a white robe, and they were afraid. But he said to them: «Do not be afraid! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. he is risen, he is not here. Here is the place where they had placed him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter: “He is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, as he told you”.
