JESUS SAYS

Explaining the Gospel message

did not show scars – evidence of the biological process of wound repair – he showed them his wounds! In the resurrection, his wounds remained as the way for us to enter into this most sacred mystery. If we consider the image of the rose as symbolic of the resurrection and that of the thorns of the Passion of Jesus, we can recognize that “the rose is more beautiful because of the thorns.” Through the thorns in our lives, participation in the Paschal Mystery of Christ opens to us, renewing and conforming our life more beautifully to Christ. The mystery of the resurrection does not eliminate our life’s pains, sufferings, and sorrows but rather raises us up to something more glorious than we could have attained without them.
