Cultus Resurrectionis

The word “resurrection” has for many people the connotation of dead
bodies leaving their graves or other fanciful images. But resurrection
means the victory of the New state of things, the New Being born out
of the death of the Old. Resurrection is not an event that might happen
in some remote future, but it is the power of the New Being to create
life out of death, here and now, today and tomorrow.
