The First Station of the Resurrection: Jesus Rises from the Dead

Listen to the reflection below from Kevin and Lisa Morgan, Generations of Faith catechists,
​and pray along with their sons, Patrick, Josef and Andrew.

All:  We adore You, O Christ
and we praise You!
Because by the Wood of the Cross and
the Light of the Resurrection,
You have redeemed the world!
 
Reading:  "The angel of the Lord said to the women:  'Do not be afraid!  I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for He has been raised just as He said."  (Matthew 28: 5b-6a).

Reflection

Prayer:  This is the day, Lord God, that You have made!  Raising Christ from the dead, and raising us with Christ, You have fashioned for Yourself a new people.  As we hear the word that brings salvation, make our hearts burn within us.  Through the presence of every friend and stranger, reveal to us the face of the One who had first to suffer, but who has entered now into glory, Jesus Christ, our Passover and our Peace, living and reigning with You, forever and ever.  Amen.

All:  Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
That Easter morn, at break of day,
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay, Alleluia!
