HE DESCENDED INTO HELL
Scriptural Reading: 1Peter 3: 18-19; 4: 6
The body of Jesus was laid in the tomb which Joseph of Arimathaea had hewn for himself but what about his soul? Was it with his body in the grave? He told “the good thief” on Good Friday that he would be with him in paradise that same day. Does paradise then mean heaven? Where was his soul on Holy Saturday?
Death is the separation of the body from the soul which means that man is an embodied soul. It is also separation from God; “You were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked” (Ephesians 2: 1-2). For that reason, you had a place in hell fire. But Jesus has gone down there to close your case with the devil and permanently locked the place allotted to you in that place of torment. Don't ever go there to unlock it through your lifestyle.
MEDITATION:
Do you think that Jesus will descend to the dead again to preach to them?

I beseech you Lord to show me your mercy and forgiveness, I have sinned against you through my thoughts, words and actions. Through your sacrificial death on the cross I receive mercy and boldness to approach your throne of grace.

I receive your Grace to rise above every limitation.
I receive your Grace to move from Glory to Glory. I proclaim my total freedom in the mighty name of Jesus.
I shall testify the goodness of God in the land of the living in the most powerful name of Jesus.
I shall not die but live to declare the goodness of God I shall not be put to shame for the Lord is by my side. I shall glorify the Lord all the days of my life.
PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AGAINST THE FORCES BEHIND COVID - 19.
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
WE PRAY WITH ST JUDE THE PATRON OF DIFFICULT CASES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly...
(insert your prayer request here, especially the menace of COVID - 19 Pandemic)
...and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
