SUMMONING THE DIVINE: THE HARROWING OF HELL
April 15, 2021--St. Richard’s Episcopal Church, Winter Park FL--Dr. Pamela Menke, Facilitator 1

Psalm 24 (7-10): Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle….Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Meditation: Benedictine Nuns & the Tender Glory of the Harrowing
Meditation: Benedictine Nuns & the Tender Glory of the Harrowing
“Holy Saturday is a day out of time, a day for doing nothing, because God is acting — powerfully, incomprehensibly, mercifully — while the earth remains silent and still, awaiting the Resurrection. In the past/...we are suspended between heaven and hell….Holy Saturday is traditionally associated with the Harrowing of Hell…It is a day of mercy, and all of us live by the mercy of God…. Holy Saturday is a day of waiting, a day when we await the mercy of God. In this small and tender illustration, Christ takes the spirits in Sheol by the hand and leads them out into the light…Don’t we all long for God to be merciful to us? Haven’t we enough sins of our own to worry about, without condemning those of others?
