The tabernacle sits upon the stripped altar, open, empty and unadorned. How stark is the sight! This vessel in which Our Lord is daily held captive as a prisoner for us is today lifeless, is now Love-less. How comforting this dwelling place has been: surrounded with flowers, veiled in linen, accompanied with the flickering light of the sanctuary lamp, and most importantly, full of His abiding Presence. On all other days, we prayed in the presence of His Presence. But today, His Absence is gut-wrenching and sorrowful.
Today He is in Sheol but tomorrow, He rises from the dead.

JESUS said to the thief, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” I’ll believe Jesus.
