Windswept Meditations: A Holy Saturday Vigil

Holy Saturday is a gestational pause that can form us spiritually.
If the enormity and infinitude of God can be swallowed up in a day, consider what an attentive two hours during that day has to offer you.
The Day of the Tomb... a womb for gestating our re-genesis.

********************
God’s Expiration is our Inspiration.
Respiration. Respiration, which consists of inspiration and expiration, ceases at death. The dying breath of every one of us is always an expiration.
Christ’s dying breath was an expiration.
The Spirit that breathed life into Adam...
Is the same breath that breathed life into desolation at the Valley of the Dry Bones in Ezekiel.
Is the same breath of the resurrected Christ who breathed peace onto his disciples in the upper room.
ALL of these life-giving breaths were expirations of the Breath of God.
And the expiration of Christ at Calvary is of this same Holy Respiration that imparts life.
Between expiration and inspiration, there is a pause. This pause embodies neither expiration nor inspiration and yet is a vital part of respiration.
Holy Saturday. The Day of the Tomb. Holy Saturday is the pause between Good Friday's expiration and Easter Sunday's inspiration.
Holy Saturday is a gestational pause that can form us spiritually.
If the enormity and infinitude of God can be swallowed up in a day, consider what an attentive two hours during that day has to offer you.
The Day of the Tomb... a womb for gestating our re-genesis.

Gestations in the Womb of Re-Genesis in 2024 was the birthing version of a new Windswept Worship liturgy. The liturgy in 2025 was presented with refinements. 2026 will have further enhancements.
