  1. The Paschal Mystery Jesus’ Saving Mission Finds Its Fulfillment in His Suffering, Death, and Resurrection

  2. The Paschal Mystery • Refers to something that happened to Jesus, but we participate as well. • Jesus’ suffering, death, and Resurrection are the most important events of his life.

  3. The Last Supper • At the Last Supper, Jesus washes the disciples feet to demonstrate the importance of love as service to one another.

  4. The Last Supper • Jesus uses this Passover meal to institute the Eucharist, the Sacrament of his continuing presence in the transformed gifts of bread and wine.

  5. The Last Supper • Because the Last Supper is a Passover meal, Jesus identifies himself as the Paschal Lamb, since he will sacrifice himself for forgiveness of sins.

  6. The Cross • Originally, the cross was understood as an instrument of torture and execution by the Romans. • Now, it is universally seen as a symbol of Christianity.

  7. The Cross • The early Christians began to understand how Jesus’ freely given obedience to the Father’s will frees us from our sins.

  8. The Cross • When Jesus dies on the cross, the gospels say that the temple veil was torn in two. • This symbolizes that people will now all have access to the presence of God.

  9. The Cross • The sins of Adam and Eve are redeemed by the Cross.

  10. Passion & Resurrection Narratives • The story of the Passion and Resurrection appears in all four Gospels. • While each narrative tells a slightly different story, Mary Magdalene is mentioned in all four as going to the tomb in the morning.

  11. The Empty Tomb • The women go to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body. • When they arrive, they are informed by an angel that Jesus is risen.

  12. The Risen Lord • The Risen Lord who appears to the disciples is a real, physical presence and is living in a new, glorified body.

  13. The Risen Lord • John’s Gospel has the story of doubting Thomas, who wanted proof of Jesus’ Resurrection by touching his wounds.

  14. The Risen Lord • In another Resurrection story, Jesus appears to the disciples on the beach and eats breakfast with them.

  15. The Resurrection • The historical validity of the Resurrection is supported by the following: • All four gospels make reference to it. • Many followers chose to die because of their faith. • The Resurrection caused profound change in believers.

  16. The Eucharist • When we celebrate the Eucharist, we commemorate and make present Christ’s sacrifice.
