Rising in Christ: Meditations on Living the Resurrection by Pope John Paul II

What is the significance of the resurrection of Christ to our individual lives and to all humanity? Here is a prayerful guide for all those who wish to sink their roots into the depths of Easter joy and draw abundantly from it any time of the year! As the late John Paul once said: "Easter must leave a mark. It must continuously be felt in our lives." The risen Christ is at the heart of all the selections in this book, which span almost twenty-five years of Pope John Paul II’s papacy. In discussing the Easter passage from unbelief to faith, from sin to holiness, and from death to immortality, the beloved pope shows us how the resurrection empowered the apostles and how we all can live a resurrected life.
