Jesus rises from the dead on the third day, glorious and immortal.
He who was born once in Bethlehem is now born again in glory.
Our Lord rises by the power of God, giving the earth the only serious wound it ever received—the irreparable wound of an empty grave.
The Resurrection begins to affect our lives the day of Baptism. When baptized, we are plunged into the waters as if buried in the sepulcher to sin and death, emerging clothed with grace as Christ from the tomb.
The empty tomb is the pledge of our own.
— Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
