The Paschal Mystery, Jesus' life, death, and Resurrection, is a living reality. It is the promise of life that we receive at Baptism and it continues to draw us into union with God. We experience this union in the most profound way when we receive Jesus in Holy Communion. The collection of readings in The Paschal Mystery: A Primary Source Reader aims to help you come to know Jesus and build a relationship with him that grows ever more loving and ever more life-giving.
Within this reader you will find writings from the following sources:
John Donne
Saint Irenaeus

This text is the perfect complement to courses on the Paschal Mystery, especially those that correspond to the U.S. bishops' Curriculum Framework course titled "The Mission of Jesus Christ (The Paschal Mystery)."
