Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire

Day 40 - Holy Saturday: 12 Minutes of Silence to Face Your Sins

James Caldwell

Gentlemen, Holy Saturday is upon us. A solemn pause before the joy of Easter. In Day 40 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph, we confront the weight of Christ’s sacrifice in sacred silence. I challenge you to join me for 12 minutes of reflection, honoring the 12 tribes and disciples, to ponder what Jesus did for you on the cross. He died for your sins—feel that truth today. No Mass, just waiting, fasting, and prayer as we anticipate His resurrection. I also share why silence is vital in our noisy world, drawing from Cardinal Sarah’s The Power of Silence. This episode is your chance to go deep, to be still, and to prepare your heart for tomorrow. Hit play, embrace the silence, and let’s finish Lent strong. 

Be a saint.
