Our Stations of the Cross experience will take us on a journey following the footsteps of Christ, immersing us in the biblical account of the last hours and days of Jesus' life. Take a few minutes each day to watch a short video and to respond and reflect. Connect with Jesus and prepare your heart as we head into Good Friday and Easter.

The following is the script from the video. You may also follow along using the downloadable reflection booklet.

\u25fc\ufe0e Station 15: New Life & A New Beginning\u25fc\ufe0e
The Resurrection of Jesus
Mark 16:1\u20136

When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, \u201cWho will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?\u201d When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, \u201cDo not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him.\u201d
...

If the cross is expansive\u2014reaching down, into the depths of who we are; reaching out, to include every one of us\u2014so is the resurrection.

The women arrive at the tomb only to find out the body, and the story they thought it held, could not be contained.

Death burst forth into life!

The resurrection is God\u2019s reaching into the world, with a boundless love, to gift us all with new life and a new beginning.

Practice the traditional Easter greeting while you reach to embody the scope of this good news.

I\u2019ll say, \u201cChrist is risen!\u201d and invite you to respond \u201cChrist is risen, indeed!\u201d with the fullness of your voice and your body.

Reaching high up to the sky: Christ is risen!
Christ is risen, indeed!

Reaching way out to your sides: Christ is risen!
Christ is risen, indeed!

Reaching far out in front of you: Christ is risen!
Christ is risen, indeed!

Alleluia!
