The Church points out to us that “The Apostles’ Creed confesses in the same article Christ’s descent into hell and His Resurrection from the dead on the third day, because in His Passover, it was precisely out of the depths of death that He made life spring forth.” In other words, we cannot possibly talk about new life if we do not talk about death; we cannot truly allow life to spring forth if we do not enter the depths of our own death that lingers deep within our hearts and souls.
What eventually surfaced for me was a memory of my grandmother chasing my four-year old self around the house with a cane, that led me to finally locking myself in the bathroom to avoid punishment. I could not recall the reason why she was trying to cane me, but I remember feeling trapped, fearful and victimised.
The Church continues to teach that “The descent into hell brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfilment.” Only when I am able to allow Christ to descend with me into the depths of my own ‘hell’, can I allow Him to more fully and deeply speak the Gospel message of salvation into my own painful realities, and lift me out of them.
