Resurrected

This is the moment we have waited for. Life. Life where there once was death. For the final day of our Online Stations of the Cross, you are invited to reflect on these images of resurrection. Which images resonate with you the most? What picture would you take to depict resurrection? What would it look like to celebrate Christ’s resurrection today?

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter! Thank you for joining us on this journey through the Online Stations of the Cross. Thanks to Epiphany:Visio for their partnership on this project and to John Doukas Photography for sharing so many fantastic photos!

 

 

Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”  At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. (John 20:11-18)

 

Prayer:

Father, what an unbelievable moment for Mary to witness – the resurrection of Jesus!  “Thank you” will never capture the gratitude I feel when I think of Christ’s death and resurrection.  Help me to share the truth of the life I have been gifted and to proclaim that He is Risen!
