(See the Collect for Easter 2)
The Paschal Mystery is a central concept in Christian theology. It encompasses the passion, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, which are seen as the pivotal events of salvation history.
It signifies how Jesus' suffering and sacrifice were made for humanity's redemption.
The Paschal Mystery is celebrated in the Mass, where believers affirm their faith in these events. It reveals God's love and mercy, inviting individuals to deepen their relationship with Him.
The narrative connects the events of the Old Testament, such as the Passover, to the New Testament, illustrating a continuous theme of deliverance. The Paschal Mystery is fundamental to understanding the Christian faith and the salvation offered through Jesus Christ.
