First Glorious Mystery: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Then the angel said to the women in reply, "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. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."

(Matthew 28:5-7)

Jesus Christ is risen from the death. And now, we can contemplate what God has prepared in Christ and for Christ to those who love him. Let us pray that we may offer our sacrifices to God in the present, so that we may be fully clothed with marvelous gifts in heaven. (Blessed Guido M. Conforti)

Green Color: Let us pray for Africa. That the peoples of Africa may be opened to the message of the Gospel, and remain faithful to the religious traditions and cultural values that put God at the center of every human activity. May the Lord increase the number of those who preach the Gospel.
