Friends of the Rosary,

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

On this Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter, we continue to see Jesus interacting with Nicodemus, a prominent Pharisee who believed in Christ (John 3:7b-15), highlighting themes of spiritual rebirth, faith, and salvation in their dialogue.

Jesus said to Nicodemus:
"No one has gone up to heaven
except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."

In this passage, Christ the Lord declares that He, too, must be "lifted up"—a prophecy of His crucifixion. Just as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent and lived, we look to Christ crucified and receive eternal life. The cross becomes the instrument of our salvation.

This is the ultimate paradox: the instrument of death becomes the source of life.

"Everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." Belief is trusting in the Lord and surrendering.

It's looking to the crucified Christ and finding there our healing and our hope.

When we look at the cross, do we see mere suffering, or do we see our salvation lifted high?

Happy Easter!

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
