For me, the Resurrection is the experience of being loved intimately by Jesus. A time came in my life where I was deeply moved by the love and forgiveness of Jesus. A few years ago, I found myself in the wrong company and although everything seemed fine at first, I eventually realized that I was on the wrong path. This realization left me feeling lost and fumbling, like St. Peter in the sea of Galilee. It took me several months to get back on track, but through prayer, I had a profound encounter with the love and forgiveness of Jesus, similar to the disciples at Emmaus. This encounter continues to resonate with me to this day, and I no longer feel any regret or guilt about what happened. Instead, I experience a deep sense of peace and forgiveness from Jesus. This encounter is a reminder to me of the transformative power of the resurrection of Jesus in our lives.
