The liturgy of the Church, the celebration of the sacraments, and the seasons of Lent and Easter are particular times when we pay attention to what Jesus Christ has done for us through his passion, death, Resurrection, and Ascension.
Well, darling, when we're all wrapped up in Jesus' Paschal Mystery, we call that "mystical union." It's like being BFFs with the big man upstairs, sharing in his suffering, death, and resurrection. So, buckle up and enjoy the wild ride of spiritual connection, my friend.
The Paschal Mystery is that Jesus was crucified and died and is risen and ascended into Heaven. That is the second Baptismal promise.

When one talks of a paschal mystery, we most commonly think of The Paschal Mystery. This is the spiritual and/or supernatural experience of the passion, life, crucifixion death, and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ. The word Paschal is associated with God's message to the children of Israel about the sacrifice of the first Passover (Paschal) lamb.A paschal mystery has come to mean, even in pagan religions, basically the process of dying and rising, death and new life. We can begin to witness this all around us and in our own lives. In simply terms we see it in the seasons as the life and energy of one dies away only to give re-birth to the next. In the spiritual sense the loss of love or friendship and then the emotional rebirth of that spiritual connection could be experiencing a paschal mystery, perhaps a doctor working a cardiac arrest that saves the patient could also be argued as witnessing this mystery.
