christ is risen

The Catechism demonstrates how Christ’s resurrection is “essentially different” from other cases of resurrection in the Bible and shows us how his rising from the dead is a “work of the Holy Trinity.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that Jesus was not merely “resuscitated” from the dead, as Jairus’ daughter or Lazarus, but he rose from the dead glorified, “filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 645-650.

Sin is the ultimate problem of the human race. The Cross of Jesus Christ is the ultimate answer. In rising from the dead, Christ is victorious over sin. When we trust His work on the Cross, our sins are washed away. Our sin is forgiven.
