Our Lenten Journey with St Francis de Sales – 8 April – Holy Saturday – The Lord’s Vigil Mass of Easter

“Into Thy Hands, O My God, I entrust My Spirit. ”

HOLY SATURDAY
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor Caritas

“INTO THY HANDS, O my God, I entrust my spirit.
Dost Thou wish me to be in dryness or in consolation?
Into Thy Hands, I entrust my spirit.
Dost Thou wish me to be contradicted, to experience repugnances and difficulties, to be loved or not, to obey this one or that one and in whatever it may be, in great things or small?
Then into Thy Hands, I entrust my spirit.

All is consummated, O God; in everything I have accomplished Thy Divine Will.
What remains now for me except to entrust my spirit into Thy Hands at the end of my life, just as I entrusted it to Thee, at its beginning and during its course.” – (Sermons of St Francis de Sales for Lent).
