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

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

641
Mary Magdalene and the holy women who came to finish anointing the body of
Jesus, which had been buried in haste because the Sabbath began on the evening
of Good Friday, were the first to encounter the Risen One.⁴⁹⁷ Thus the
women were the first messengers of Christ’s Resurrection for the apostles
themselves.⁴⁹⁸ They were the next to whom Jesus appears: first Peter,
then the Twelve. Peter had been called to strengthen the faith of his brothers,⁴⁹⁹
and so sees the Risen One before them; it is on the basis of his testimony that
the community exclaims: “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to
Simon!”⁵⁰⁰
