The Harrowing of Hell Explained | “This Day You Will Be With Me in Paradise”

About this sermon

On Holy Saturday, the Church enters into a profound silence… but beneath that silence, a divine victory unfolds. In this powerful meditation, we reflect on the words of Christ to the Good Thief: “This day thou shalt be with Me in paradise.” What did Our Lord truly mean? Where did He go after His death on the Cross? This sermon explores the ancient and beautiful doctrine of the Harrowing of Hell—Christ’s descent into the realm of the dead to free the just who awaited redemption. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, and a moving ancient homily, we witness Christ as He triumphantly enters the underworld, calling Adam, Eve, the prophets, and all the righteous into eternal life. 🔥 Discover: The true meaning of “Paradise” on Good Friday Why Christ descended into hell The mystery of Holy Saturday The liberation of the just in Abraham’s bosom The profound hope of salvation revealed in Christ This is a meditation meant to deepen your understanding of the Passion, strengthen your faith, and prepare your soul for the joy of Easter. 0:00 Opening Invocation 0:22 Introduction & Holy Saturday Reflection 0:45 The Good Thief and Christ’s Promise 1:20 What Does “Paradise” Mean? 2:08 “Where Christ Is, There Is Paradise” 2:45 Christ the Divine Conqueror 3:02 The Mystery of Holy Saturday 3:49 Christ Descends into Hell Explained 4:30 The Hidden Joy Before the Resurrection 5:07 Meditation on Christ in the Underworld 5:22 Christ Meets St. Joseph 5:54 John the Baptist & the Prophets 6:37 King David, Moses, and the Patriarchs 7:54 Isaac, Jacob, and the Promise Fulfilled 8:33 Abel and the First Sacrifice 8:59 Ancient Homily Begins 9:30 “A Great Silence Over the Earth” 10:02 Christ Seeks Adam and Eve 10:33 “Awake, O Sleeper” 11:12 Christ’s Sacrifice Explained 12:25 Victory Over Death 12:59 The Kingdom Prepared 13:09 Final Reflection on the Good Thief 13:25 Conclusion & Glory to Christ For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/lent/monday-in-passion-week/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
