From a metaphorical perspective, this time during Holy Week, Holy Saturday, is the time of mourning and transformation, of mystery and secrets. This is the time when Jesus is truly dead and we grieve. Yet, some suspect that change is in store and that he may rise again.
I've tried to focus this week on how we all make a journey through life, complete with falls and touched by moments of comfort. For many of us, that journey takes place in work because that is simply where we are for a large part of the day.
During this journey, most of us experience something devastating at work: being fired or laid off. And this is the time, our own metaphorical Holy Saturday, when we have to cocoon and find a way to be reborn, in another job, in another workplace, or in a different profession. This is the period of growth and rebirth. This is our time of mourning and of transformation.
