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.

Fruit of the mystery: Faith

Matthias Grunewald, The Resurrection of Christ, Isenheim Altar, 1515. Colmar

1.The ResurrectionThe truth of Jesus' divinity is confirmed by his Resurrection. The Resurrection of the crucified one shows that he was truly. Jesus "I AM", the Son of God and God himself.”Jesus rises triumphant over sin and death, and restores the relationship of the human race with the Father.

“Christ is risen, alleluia!”Peace be to you, Peace be to all ! Let nothing disturb your peace!Peace be in your hearts and in your lives. May peace be the everlasting gift of your apostolate.”(Gobbi)

2.** Peace to you

Agnolo Bronzino,Resurrection. 1550

Christ did not emerge alone from the grave. Together with Himself He lifted all Humanity.Christ is risen from the dead conquering death, and bestowing life on those in the grave. Let us celebrate this greatest of all festivals, filled with joy and gladness.Let us warmly greet those we meet and treat them alllike brothers and sisters. In His rising all is grace.

3. Christ is risen. On the left, we see King David, Solomon and Moses; on the right are the three prophets. Beneath Christ’s feet are the gates of Hell, shattered and broken.

4. The three Marys at the tomb “Let us keep watch in hope, inprayer, and in expectation.Keep burning the light of confidence and of the certainty ofhis glorious return.”(Gobbi)

Annibale Carracci, The Three Marys at the Tomb, 1590 Hermitage. St. Petersburg.

Beloved children, keep watch with me in expectation: be strong in your faith,be firm in the hope, and be ardent in love.” (Gobbi) We should try to experience her joy by realizing that we too, will rise up from the dead, to be with Him forever. Pray that we always work towards this end every day of our lives.Juan de Flandes, Christ appearing to his mother, 1496, Metropolitan. New York.

5.***Jesus appears to his Mother

6*. Jesus appears to Mary Magdaleine.

“And so it happened that the woman who stayed behind to seek Christ was the only one to see him. For perseverance is essential to any good deed.” (St. Gregory the Great)She is the example of great forgiveness and great love. She grasped the truth of God’s love for human beings and spent her life bearing witness to that love. It is said that of all the songs of the saints, that of Mary Magdalene is the sweetest and strongest because her love was so great.

8.*** Behind closed doors. This scene shows a unique aspect of Christianity: God’s search for man instead of man’s search for God. Jesus wants to pass through closed doors and meet us in our hidings, sins, weaknesses, and doubts, to offer us Peace---- ‘Shalom’.

Caravaggio, The Incredulity of St. Thomas. 1600. Neues Palais. Potsdam

He shows them His wounds. We should also be continuously reminded of the tragic results of our sins.

9.* The Incredulity of St. Thomas

“My children, the mostprecious giftyou have is faith. Your faith must not be hidden: it must be your main motivation in your life.”

“The disbelief of Thomas has done more for our faith than the belief of the other disciples.Faith is the proof of what cannot be seen. What is seen give knowledge, not faith.‘Blessed are those who have not seen and have belief’ apply to us, but only if we follow up our faith with good works. The true believer practices what he believes.” (St. Gregory the Great)
