10. Holy Saturday — When God is Silent | John Ortberg

Jesus' journey through the Triduum—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—reminds us that in between death and resurrection is the silence of Saturday. While Friday is full of suffering and Sunday bursts with hope, Saturday is the day of waiting, uncertainty, and God's apparent absence. For Jesus’ followers, it felt like failure and abandonment. Yet, even in the silence, God was at work. We all live in “Saturday” seasons—those in-between moments where despair and hope wrestle. In these times, we are invited not to deny or despair, but to wait on the Lord, trusting that our story, like Jesus’, might just be a third-day story too.
