The Resurrection

  1. Let us think of Jesus as He hung on a cross. Let us see next to this picture the picture of Jesus, glorious and all white, as he rose from the dead.
  2. The world tells us that we should be happy all the time. Jesus shows us His death and His Resurrection.

  4. The women went to the tomb and Jesus was gone.
  5. Think of the mystery that Jesus died and that He rose to new life.
  6. The more we die to the ways that are not like Jesus, the more we will rise to a greater life in Him.

Mary Is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth
