"The Paschal mystery of Christ's cross and Resurrection stands at the center of the Good News that the apostles, and the Church following them, are to proclaim to the world." (CCC, 571)
Symbolon Session 6:
The Paschal Mystery: Jesus's Death & Resurrection
"The Paschal Mystery" is a phrase we hear and use in the Mass and sacramental rites, but do we understand what it means in the greater story of Salvation, from the Passover in Egypt to the Last Supper and Crucifixion of Jesus?
The Paschal Mystery teaches Catholics that living, dying and rising are a part of their experience as Christians. It reminds Catholics that there may be times when they struggle and are in pain but that, if they follow Jesus' teachings and have faith, they will reach Heaven.
The Paschal Mystery draws us into the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This video explains how this aspect of our faith relates to the sacraments.
