Silence and Shadow

The shroud of shadow and silence foretells the rebirth of eternal life.

 

Oh, my buried Jesus, I kiss the stone that closes You in.  But You gloriously did rise again on the third day.  I beg You by Your resurrection that I may be raised gloriously on the last day, to be united with You in heaven, to praise You and love You forever.  Saint Alphonsus Liguori "The Way of the Cross"
