"On that terrible Friday the earth shook and grew dark. Frightful storms lashed at the earth.
"Those evil men who sought His life rejoiced. Now that Jesus was no more surely those who followed Him would disperse. On that day they stood triumphant.
...
"On that Friday the Savior of mankind was humiliated and bruised, abused and reviled.
"It was a Friday filled with devastating, consuming sorrow that gnawed at the souls of those who loved and honored the Son of God.
"I think that of all the days since the beginning of this world's history, that Friday was the darkest.
...
"Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays.
"But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come.
"No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come."
~Joseph B Wirthlin, General Conference, Oct 2006
