First Glorious MysteryFirst Glorious MysteryThe ResurrectionThe Resurrection

“You need not be amazed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, the one who was crucified. He has been raised up; he is not here.See the place where they laid him.”

The Church proclaims that Christ is risen, notChrist has risen, because the event is not one that is rooted in time. Through the resurrection ofChrist, we rise to eternal life. Eternity has cleavedinto time.
