The duty to tell the truth must be “accompanied by the discretion of charity.” Charity sometimes requires that we do not reveal the truth to someone who does not have the right to it.

In the midst of our modern world’s tragedies and the feeling of God’s absence, Holy Saturday reminds us of Christ’s descent into death and his active work for our salvation. Even in our darkest moments, we can find hope in the loving voice of God leading us out of the realm of death and into life.
Christ’s death was not a sign of defeat, but a triumph. There is no crown before the cross, and it is only through suffering that His mission as saviour was accomplished. This is the message that every Christian needs to integrate into his life.
