Text:
- Each Gospel has an account of the Resurrection
- 1 Corinthians 15: Paul reflects on the meaning of Jesus’ Resurrection

Meaning and Purpose in Life-  Is to spread the word of god as well as living out the word of god in order to enter the kingdom of god in heaven, it also entails that life is ever lasting with God in his kingdom. 

Meaning of Life and Death- The Paschal Mystery is connected to the meaning of life and death as Jesus Christ lived and then died, the paschal mystery teaches catholic adherents that death is not the end of one’s life, it is the separation of the soul from the body, and those who have lived out the word of god will ascend into heaven to be with god.  

Meaning of Life after death- To be with god. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose again and entered the Kingdom of God with his Father in heaven.

Relationship between Ultimate Reality and Humanity- Jesus lived on earth to educate and teach people about God and heaven.  Jesus taught adherents how to live out the Kingdom of God on Earth and what they must do in their live and after death.

Relationship Between Humans- All humans must “Love one another” as Jesus came down on this earth to show humans how to treat each other the way God wanted them to inorder to go to Heaven once they have died.

Relationship between humankind and natural world- Jesus’ purpose on this world was to show humans how to treat the natural world and all of God’s creations that are living and nonliving. Humans and the natural world must live together in harmony and in peace while they are alive and must die together and go to heaven.
