The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. For every single person, it means that we can have a relationship with Christ who is truly alive.
If you are like me, we can often celebrate Easter for one day and then move on — happy that Lent is over and that spring is here. However, the Church guides us to contemplate the resurrection slowly over the course of the 50-day Easter season. A beautiful and profound way to do so is to lean into the details of the resurrection appearances in our daily prayer. Each appearance is filled with theological significance and spiritual food for the journey.
Let’s examine a few of them and highlight some details that can aid us in meeting Jesus as a real, living person who is risen from the dead and alive today.
