Fr. Mark Mary: 我反思了耶稣复活的隐秘性，以及他在世时如何始终与天父保持联系。耶稣在世时，总是将目光、心和意志坚定地放在天父身上。他经常在清晨去祈祷，并在重要时刻与天父对话，例如在挑选十二门徒之前和在拉撒路的坟墓前。在十字架上，耶稣仍然与天父对话，并在祈祷和信任中分享他的悲伤。最终，他的身体被安放在一个封闭的墓室中，象征着一种隐秘的状态。天父在秘密中奖励了耶稣，使他从死里复活。复活本身发生在封闭的墓室里，是天父对圣子的奖赏，天父是信实的。耶稣的眼睛始终向上看，与天父紧密相连。他在世时，始终关注天父的旨意，最终战胜死亡而复活。在隐秘中祈祷和给予，是邀请我们信任天父，他会看到、听到并支持我们，最终在复活中得到奖赏。天父会奖励那些在隐秘中受苦的人，最终的奖赏是分享圣子的复活。我们应该像耶稣和玛利亚一样，专注于天父，将希望完全寄托于他。如果我们忠实地遵行天父的旨意，他会通过圣子复活我们来奖励我们。

Repeatedly in the Gospels, Jesus goes off alone to pray to the Father, telling us, “pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” While meditating on today’s painting, The Resurrection of Christ by Annibale Carracci, Fr. Mark-Mary draws out the hidden nature of the Resurrection. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Resurrection and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or for free in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
