What does the Paschal Mystery mean for us? Each person’s life is intimately affected. Join Patti Brunner and Truth of the Spirit to explore Basics of Faith with the Basics of the Paschal Mystery. Each of the Gospel writers agree: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Baptism is the incorporation into the life of the risen Christ. The suffering servant, Christ, can relate to all suffering by mankind. The kingdom on earth as it is in heaven is shown to us with the glorification of Christ’s body at the resurrection from the dead. Salvation is the gift of the paschal mystery. Salvation is free. It is freely given. It is a gift purchased by the blood of the innocent and blameless Lamb of God, sacrificed to reunite God and Man. The Eucharist, the fruit of salvation, is the reuniting of God and man intimately and completely. It is the completion of the resurrection, the sign of the reunification of God and man and the tangible presence of the almighty God among us and within us. Catechism # 1394 says, “Since Christ died for us out of love, when we celebrate the memorial of his death at the moment of sacrifice we ask that love may be granted to us by the coming of the Holy Spirit.”
