First Glorious Mystery - The Resurrection
I Desire A Strong Faith
Think of Christ's glorious triumph when, on the third day after His
death, He arose from the tomb and for forty days appeared to His
Blessed Mother and to His disciples.
Matthew 28
1
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
2
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord
descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat
upon it.
3
His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow.
4
The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men.
5
Then the angel said to the women in reply, "Do not be afraid! I know
that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
6
He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the
place where he lay.
7
Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the
dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.'
Behold, I have told you."
8
Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and
ran to announce this to his disciples.
9
And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They
approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
10
Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to
Galilee, and there they will see me."
