“What makes this night different from all other nights? Because once we were slaves and we are slaves no longer.” This line from the movie, The Passion of the Christ, taken from the Jewish Passover commemoration, is an excellent question to begin the night of Holy Saturday with. Tonight marks the celebration of the Easter Vigil around the world, the greatest Mass of the year, the great celebration of the Resurrection of Christ and our deliverance from the slavery of sin. The first thing said at the ambo tonight is a great reflection of this idea.
