¶ The Resurrection of Christ.
Christ's Resurrection, Ascension, and Return to Judgment
Christ truly rose in a full human body, ascended to heaven, and will return to judge humanity on the last day.
Christ truly rose from the dead and took back his body, complete with flesh, bones, and everything that belongs to the perfection of human nature. With that body he ascended into heaven, where he sits until he returns to judge humankind on the last day.1

Rule yourself daily, not just on retreat
Chosen Portion turns the mirror into a daily practice — a short reading and examining question each morning before you lead anyone.
Chosen Portion makes the mirror daily: the ruler-formation questions this collection preserves become a two-minute morning examination in the app.
- A daily formation reading drawn from centuries of counsel to those in authority
- One pointed examination question a day — two minutes, before the meetings start
- Track your practice over weeks and watch the examined life become a habit
