Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

645
By means of touch and the sharing of a meal, the risen Jesus establishes direct
contact with his disciples. He invites them in this way to recognize that he is
not a ghost and above all to verify that the risen body in which he appears to
them is the same body that had been tortured and crucified, for it still bears
the traces of his Passion.⁵⁰⁸ Yet at the same time this authentic, real
body possesses the new properties of a glorious body: not limited by space and
time but able to be present how and when he wills; for Christ’s humanity can no
longer be confined to earth, and belongs henceforth only to the Father’s divine
realm.⁵⁰⁹ For this reason too the risen Jesus enjoys the sovereign
freedom of appearing as he wishes: in the guise of a gardener or in other forms
familiar to his disciples, precisely to awaken their faith.⁵¹⁰
