I just thought of this. I don’t know how Jesus rose. Did the Father raise Him? Or did He raise Himself? Or did the Spirit raise Him? I’m lost. 🙂

It is not one way or the other, but both.

As the Son and Christ of God, Jesus was raised by His Father. As the second person of the Trinity (fully God), Jesus rose Himself:

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days** I** will raise it up.

Happy Easter 🙂
Xristos Anesti !!
 
In **John 10:17-18 **17
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18* No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."
Jesus appears to say that He is control of both His death and His resurrection. But He notes He does it at the Father’s behest.
 
All three divine Persons raised Jesus from the dead.

The Father raised Jesus.

for, if you confess 5 with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9)

Jesus raised himself.

John 2:19-22
Jesus answered and said to them, 15 “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, 16 and you will raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.

The Spirit raised Jesus.

If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you (Romans 8:11).
 
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (648) says, “In it [Christ’s Resurrection] the three divine persons act together as one…”
