God came to us, and
we killed him. And some of us killed him for love of God; because the tragedy
of the human condition – as Shakespeare knew so well, and expressed so
powerfully in plays such as Romeo & Juliet
– is that, one way or another, we kill those whom we love as much as those whom
we hate.
The work of Holy Saturday is to let that
sink in, to refuse the impulse to excuse ourselves from the human condition.
