<p class="title_brown">The resurrection of Jesus</p>

<p class="normal_text"><br />
We contemplate the mystery of <em>the resurrection of Jesus</em>, meditating on the words from the Gospel according to Saint Mathew:</p>

<p class="quote">At dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.<br />
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, &laquo;Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said&raquo;<br />
&nbsp;[Mt 28,1-6]</p>

<p class="normal_text">At the third day, the ancient letters gained their full meaning and human history achieved the barometer that recapitulates all: that night, &laquo;the only to have recognition of time and hour in which Christ resurrected from the grave&raquo; [Easter Proclamation], the sun came out &laquo;like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy &raquo; [cf. Sl 18(19),6]. Although the body belongs to the shepherd who was injured, the vigor of the Resurrected shows the flag of victory whose penance is cruciform. The language used is of victory: the athlete reached the end and the crown is now to the reach of all, because the last battle defeated the worst enemy of all and God won to death.<br />
In Fatima, we also heard that triumph of God over the drama of human history is possible, certain that sin and death will not be the last word.<br />
Virgin of Fatima, Lady of the Easter Joy, intercede for us next to Christ so that, through the merits of Your resurrection, we may be worthy to pass from death to life!</p>
