Paragraph 1. CHRIST DESCENDED INTO HELL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Today a great silence reigns on earth, a great silence and a great
stillness. A great silence because the King is asleep. the earth trembled and
is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all
who have slept ever since the world began. . . He has gone to search for Adam,
our first father, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live
in darkness and in the shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow Adam in
his bonds and Eve, captive with him – He who is both their God and the son of
Eve. . . “I am your God, who for your sake have become your son. . . I
order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be a prisoner in hell.
Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead.”⁴⁸⁷
