Easter Sermon, April 1 -- God's Sabbath Rest: Eve, Mary, the Church (Father Ryan Erlenbush, Corpus Christi Parish)

We consider the sorrow of Holy Saturday, when God himself lay dead in the tomb. This day is Mary's day, for she alone had faith in the Resurrection and, in the midst of sorrow, she is our true Mother.

The Lord rested on the seventh day of creation, Jesus rested in death on the Sabbath, Adam rested in a deep sleep when God fashioned the woman from his side. We see that as Eve came from the side of Adam as his bride, so too the Church was fashioned from the opened side of Christ on the Cross.
