Listen to the Reflection here!

 

First Reading: Daniel 12:1-3

 

At that time your people shall escape.

 

In those days, I, Daniel, heard this word of the Lord: “At that time there shall arise Michael, the great prince, guardian of your people; it shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time. At that time your people shall escape, everyone who is found written in the book.

 

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace.

 

But the wise shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament, and those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever.”

 

Questions for Reflection

 

1.      How might you answer a skeptic who argued that Jesus didn’t really rise from the dead?

 

2.      Why is the Resurrection important to us as Christians?

 

3.      What attitude should we have in light of the fact of Jesus’ resurrection?
