The Lord is not found in the people that closed themselves from His blessings and plans.



He will drag us out from the dark grave so let us do the same to others and lead everyone to the Lord.

Father Ferdinand Delatado said that Black Saturday is the most important day for the church because it is the day that Jesus became alive again. The day that Jesus was out of the dark grave.


In his homily, Fr. Ferdinand shared that he, along with the church workers, practiced the flow of Easter Vigil Mass to achieve the perfect timing of everything. Thankfully, he said that their practice was fruitful and that everything went well.


People know when the perfect timing is. The perfect timing to close and open something. However, why is it that everyone chooses to close their hearts and minds instead of opening them?


Despite everyone's choices, the Lord’s invitation is to open everything. Open your hands to become a generous person, open your eyes, ears, and mouth to the wrongdoings of others, and open your mind to see the lies. Don’t let your heart remain closed and become numb just because you can’t forgive.


Jesus’s tomb is already open and it will remain open. The Lord is not found in the people that closed themselves from His blessings and plans. Give him even the tiniest opening and He will enter. Do not imprison yourself in the darkness.


The Resurrection of Jesus is the assurance of God that He will take care of everyone. His scars are his proof and mark of his love for God and promise that he will endure everything therefore no one should be in doubt.


Past is past and everyone learned a lesson from it. Do not go back to it anymore and lock yourself in the dark and repeat the bad actions. Believe that you can open your heart to Him and receive the blessing that he bestowed.





After the homily, everyone attended the mass to renew their promise on the sacrament of Baptism. Promising to renounce Satan's works and believing in God, to our Mother Mary, the communion of saints, and the Catholic Church.
