First Glorious Mystery: The Resurrection

Mark 16:1-20; Matthew 28:1-10

The Resurrection – Jesus rises from the dead, glorious and immortal on Easter Sunday. He conquers death and opens the gates of heaven.

Resolution – I desire a strong faith. I will live with Christ, so that I may rise with Him.

Thanks – Although I may not understand the enormity of Your plan for me, thank you Father for providing me with my role.

? What do you think of when you review this mystery?

… picture yourself as one of the first to see Christ risen   …the joy and awe that must’ve been felt by Mary Magdalene and her companions trying to fulfill their duty to anoint the dead only to find the tomb empty   …what He meant by “rebuilding the temple”   …from Creator he became man and from eternal life to temporal death, for our sins   …God’s plan to set us free is not what we expect.

After reviewing the Resolution and Thanks statements and the meditations, can you think of additional ones?
