Edge Night at a Glance

This Edge Night is at the heart of the semester on the Creed because the Paschal Mystery is at the heart of our faith. The purpose of the night is not merely to learn about the Paschal Mystery, but to experience it. The Paschal Mystery is the Passion, death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ. It is through Christ’s death and Resurrection that we can expect ourselves to resurrect on the last day when He returns in glory. Also, an understanding of the Paschal Mystery helps us learn how to pick up our own cross with hope that every suffering, when endured with Christ, leads to a resurrection. This Edge Night provides a lot of potential for adaptation.
