the descent of the Lord.
What happened? Today on earth there is great silence, silence and solitude. Great silence because the King is asleep: the earth is stunned and silent because God made flesh has fallen asleep and awakened those who slept for centuries. God is dead in the flesh and came down to shake the underworld.
Of course he goes to seek first the father, as the lost sheep. He wants to visit those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. God and his Son to be free from suffering Adam and Eve who are in prison.
The Lord comes to bringing their victorious arms of the cross. As soon as Adam, the progenitor saw him, beating their breasts in wonder, he shouted to all and said, "My Lord be with you all." And Christ answered and said to Adam: "And with your spirit." And him by the hand , shook him, saying, " Awake O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. I am your God, for you have become son for you and for them, that you have originated, and now I speak in my command with those who were in prison: Leave! To those who were in darkness: Be enlightened! To those who had died: Rise! command to you: "Awake thou that sleep! In fact I have not created because it held a prisoner in hell. Arise from the dead. I am the life of the dead. Rise, the work of my hands! Rise my effigy, made in my image! Rise, let us go hence you in me and I in you we are one undivided person "
from an ancient homily on Holy Saturday
