The Scriptural Rosary

1. When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome brought perfumed oil with which to anoint Jesus.  Suddenly there was a mighty earthquake as the angel of the Lord descended from heaven.  He came to the stone, rolled it back and sat on it.  In appearance he resembled a flash of lightning while his garments were as dazzling as snow.                                                                Matt. 28:1-3

2.  The angel addressed the women: “Do not be frightened.  I know you are looking for Jesus the crucified, but he is not here.  He has been raised, exactly as he promised.  Come and see the place where he was laid.  Then go quickly and tell the disciples:  ‘He has been raised from the dead and now goes ahead of you to Galilee, where you will see him.’ That is the message I have for you.”

                                                                                                                   Matthew 28:5-7

3. They hurried away from the tomb half-overjoyed, half-fearful, and ran to carry the good news to his disciples.  Suddenly, Jesus stood before them and said, “Peace!”   The women came up and did him homage.  Jesus said:  Do not be afraid!  Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, there they will see me.”                                                                      Matthew 28:8-10

5. As two of them were walking along their way to the country, Jesus was revealed to them. They retraced their steps to announce the good news to the others, but they put no faith in them.                                       Mark 16:12-13

 

6.   Finally, as they were at table, Jesus was revealed to the Eleven.  He took them to task for their disbelief and stubbornness in not believing those who had seen him after he was raised.                                Mark 16:14                                                   
7. In their fright they thought they were seeing a ghost.  Jesus said, “See my hands and my feet:  it is really I. Touch me, and see a ghost doesn’t have flesh as I do.”  He asked, “Do you have anything to eat?” They gave him cooked fish and he ate it.                                                             Luke  24:37-42
