This lecture continues the Creed’s teaching on Jesus, emphasizing that his Resurrection is not a mere resuscitation like Lazarus or Jairus’s daughter but a real, glorified bodily life animated by the Holy Spirit, shown in appearances to Mary Magdalene, the Emmaus disciples, Thomas touching Jesus’ wounds, and Jesus eating with the apostles. It then explains the Ascension as Jesus taking authority at the Father’s right hand and, drawing on Hebrews, presents Jesus as the true high priest who enters the heavenly Holy of Holies, offering his once-for-all sacrifice. The Mass is described as sharing in that same offering on earth, uniting heaven and earth and giving a foretaste of the Second Coming in the Eucharist. Abbot Ankido concludes with Jesus’ return to judge the living and the dead, early Christians’ longing for his coming, and Romans 8’s assurance of no condemnation for those in Christ.
