Jesus, in the Gospel, says that faith moves mountains. But having real faith. Jesus, before the faith of His poor, of His people, is won over; He feels special tenderness before that faith. And He listens. The prayer that Jesus addresses to the Father in Gethsemane also seems to go unheard. The Son must drink fully from the chalice of the Passion. But Holy Saturday is not the final chapter, because on the third day, Sunday, is the Resurrection.
Remember this well. I have won! But the evil one is never lord of the last day: God is the Lord of the last day. Because that belongs to God alone, and it is the day when all human longings for salvation will be fulfilled.
Very often, the penultimate is very hard, because human sufferings are hard. But the Lord is there. And on the last day, He solves everything. Thank you.
