First Mystery: The Resurrection
This mystery is featured for Second Sunday of Easter or Sunday of Divine Mercy.
“He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.”Matthew 28:6
On the third day Jesus rises gloriously from the dead. The angel at the empty tomb tells the holy women not to be afraid, and the risen Lord Himself meets them.
Fruit of the mystery: Faith
Jesus, I Trust in You
Jesus, I trust in you.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Traditional aspiration of the Divine Mercy devotion
