| | Keeping the Faith - April 2003 Paschal Mystery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | First a basic definition: “Paschal Mystery - God’s love and salvation revealed to us through the life, passion, death, and resurrection and glorification of his Son Jesus Christ. |
 | | April 13 - The term “ paschal” is derived from the word “Pasch”, which refers to the feast of Passover- and not simply because the events from the Last Supper through the crucifixion and resurrection happen to coincide with Passover. |
 | | From a paschal perspective, illness, poverty, social disorder, exploitation, environment degradation and other forms of diminishment, but also efforts toward reconciliation, fidelity, forgiveness, and human courage in the face of adversity, not only invite but require of the Christian some suitable response in the Spirit of Christ Jesus.” |
