Jesus Christ is Risen!

Regina
Coeli

“Queen of Heaven and
Earth, Rejoice, Alleluia!

For He whom you
deserved to bear, Alleluia!

Has risen as He said, Alleluia!

                                                                                              Pray for us to God,
Alleluia! “       

Fr. Foeckler and the Motjari group started with the Easter
prayer “Regina Coeli” (Queen of Heaven in Latin)

We pray the Regina Coeli during the Paschal Season every
day, from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday.

Fr. Foeckler gave us the lecture regarding the quote “Jesus
Christ is Risen”.

As He said… many times, in many ways ahead of time before it
happened.

Jesus predicted his
death; his death was planned by God.

How we can prove Jesus died?

“But one of the
soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came
out”      – John 19, 34

Blood and water poured out from his heart. The water pouring
out of his heart meant that he was dead.

The angel said
to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who
was crucified. He is not here; 

he has risen, just as he said. Come and see
the place where he lay.”      – Matthew 28, 5-6

Jesus answer
them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”             

They replied,
“It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise
it in the three days?” But the temple he 

had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his
disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the 

scripture and the
words that Jesus had spoken.         – John 2, 19-22

Jesus would be buried and rise again on the same number of
days that Jonah was in a whale; 3 days (another prediction).

 To ensure that Jesus
would rise in 3 days, a guard protected the tomb and put a seal on it so his
disciples would not steal his body.

Predictions prove that Jesus is the Son of God and that
everything he says is true.

Jesus gave
us:

Commandment: Love your neighbors as yourself

Exhortation:  Be not
afraid

Promises: Eternal Life



Two
disciples on the way to Emmaus – Easter Sunday

¹³ Now that same day two of them were going to a village called
Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.¹⁴ They
were talking with each other about everything that had happened. ¹⁵ As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus
himself 

came up and walked along with them; ¹⁶ but they were kept from recognizing him.

¹⁷ He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

They stood still, their
faces downcast. ¹⁸ One of
them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem 

who does not
know the things that have happened there in these days?” ¹⁹ “What things?” he asked.

“About Jesus of
Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet,powerful in word and deed before
God and all the people.²⁰ The chief 

priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced
to death, and they crucified him; ²¹ but we had hoped that he was the one 

who was going to redeem
Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. ²² In addition, some of our women 

amazed us. They went to the tomb early
this morning ²³ but
didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of
angels, who said he was alive. ²⁴ Then
some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had
said, but they did not see Jesus.”

²⁵ He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the
prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Did not
the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” ²⁷ And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was
said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

²⁸ As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus
continued on as if he were going farther. ²⁹ But they urged him 

strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly
evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

³⁰ When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks,
broke it and began to give it to them. ³¹ Then their eyes were 

opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their
sight. ³² They
asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning 

within us while he talked with us on the
road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

³³ They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found
the Eleven and those with them, assembled together ³⁴ and 

saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to
Simon.” ³⁵ Then the
two told what had happened on the way, and how 

Jesus was recognized by them
when he broke the bread.  – Luke 24, 13-35

 

Easter is a wonderful
time to reflect on a Gospel truth: Jesus Christ did indeed rise from the 

dead
for our salvation!
