This week on The Rising Podcast, Melanie speaks with Father Ambrose Criste about the resurrection and its meaning for Christians today. Father Ambrose shares his love for the biblical accounts of Jesus’ appearances after His resurrection, including the profound meaning of Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ. He also highlights the empty tomb as evidence of the resurrection and the hope that belief in the risen Christ offers to a world that fears death. 

Thought-Provoking Quotes:

“Faith is a gift. There are very often obstacles that stand in the way between us and faith. And those obstacles have to be removed.” - Father Ambrose Criste

“Life would be so meaningless if you didn't know on faith that there’s something beyond this life, and that this life and everything we love about it and enjoy about it will carry with us into the next life. I don’t know how people would find any meaning in their life without that.” - Father Ambrose Criste

“God knows your darkest secrets, but that doesn't make Him love you less, it makes Him love you more. He loves you more because He knows how much you need to be loved. And He calls you by name.” - Father Ambrose Criste

“The lower we humble ourselves before the Lord, the higher He raises us up.” - Father Ambrose Criste
