Glorious Mysteries – Jesus is Risen from the Dead

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is risen, he is not here!”

Luke 24:5

The enraptured angels again saw the hearts of Jesus and Mary knit together, pressed against each other. The joyful news was spreading fast among the disciples – Peter and John had seen the empty tomb – but Magdalen was weeping still, until Jesus said to her: “Mary!”  In one single instant all her sorrow was gone…

Before her astonished eyes, she saw the radiant

beauty of the risen Christ, and a joy past all belief

possessed her soul, never to leave her.

Pray in this mystery for all those who do not experience

the joy of the Resurrection in their lives.
