Hello, welcome to Form Now. My name is Dr. Ben Acres, and my special guest today is Dr. Michael

Barber. And this is part one of a five-part series where we're going to be going through

the glorious mysteries of the rosary. So you might have seen the first series that we did on

the luminous mysteries. We went through each of the five mysteries of that John Paul II gave

to the church. And now in this Easter season, we want to go through

each of the five mysteries related to what we call glorious. And they're the resurrection,

the ascension of Christ into heaven, the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the

Virgin Mary at Pentecost. The fourth is Mary's assumed body and soul to heaven. And then

the fifth, Mary crowned queen of heaven and of earth.

So St. John Paul II called the Rosary a compendium of the gospel.

And so in this series, we want to go through the gospel.

We're going to go through passages in scripture to help you and to help me,

as I'm going to learn from you, Dr. Barber, pray this mysteries more deeply.

So when we talk about the resurrection, we're the first one, what do we mean by the resurrection?

Right. So, so important that we get this straight, right? So we do know that there were other people

in the Bible who rose from the dead, right? This is not what we mean when we talk about Jesus' resurrection.

We're not talking about resuscitation of a body, right?

So we have the widow's son who was raised by Elijah or Lazarus,

Gyrus's daughter.

That's not what happened to Jesus, right?

Because they're all going to die again.

They're all going to die again, and their resurrection wasn't in any way glorious.
