Welcome to the 33-day preparation for total consecration to Jesus through Mary, right here on the Catholic Sprouts podcast.

Before we begin, let's pray. In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, amen.

Mary, Mother of Jesus, be a mother to us now, and bring us to your son. Amen.

Welcome back to this 33-day preparation for total consecration to Jesus through Mary.

Today is day 32.

So in this section, we have been talking about the titles for Jesus as we strive to know him better and enter into a true and total relationship with him.

Today, we are going to talk about how Jesus is the resurrection and the light.

Resurrection and the light.

So yesterday we talked about how he is our Savior, how he saved us through his death on the cross.

But as you know, if you read the Gospels, that after Jesus died on the cross, his disciples were terrified.

They went and they hid and they just didn't know what to do next.

They had believed in Jesus, but now he was suddenly gone.

But three days later, something happened that confirmed for them, confirms for us, that Jesus is God.

We know that they went to the tomb.

They found the stone rolled away in Mary Magdalene, thinking it was the gardener, meets Jesus Christ risen from the dead. From there, he went on to appear to his disciples when they were in the upper room behind locked doors. He walked with some of his

followers to Amas. He met them on the seashore. Jesus appeared to them. He had a resurrected,

glorified body, but he still bore the wounds that he had suffered on the cross. Now, why is this so important? Well, the resurrection

is so important because it proves that he is God, that he is stronger and bigger than anything,

even death. That is what's so miraculous, even death. Now, during Jesus' public ministry, he did raise people from the dead.

Remember the little girl, there's a little boy too.

They rose from the dead.

But Jesus did that for them.
