Christus Resurrexit


 
It is remarkable that Jesus Christ, risen, is Jesus Christ, yet wounded. To dumbfounded disciples, Jesus shows them His hands and His feet. (Luke 24:39-40)   Post resurrection, His hands and feet yet bear the imprints of His Cross. There are wounds to touch. (John 20:24-29)    In His demonstration, one sees physical proof for the confounded that Jesus Crucified is now and forever.  In the Holy Eucharist, Christ with us, we behold the eternal Lamb of God.  Christus Resurrexit.
