RESPONSORIAL PSALM:  Taste and see that the Lord is good.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Deuteronomy 30:15-20;  Psalm 118 (119):33-40

MEDITATION:

Victory over hell – this is the wonderful message that the ancient Church never ceased to proclaim: ‘I have opened the gates that were bolted. I have scattered the iron bars

and the iron has melted at my presence; and nothing more has been shut,

for I am the gate for all beings.’

Olivier Clement, ‘Victory over Death’.
