Our Bodies will be Resurrected

 

"According to the clear testimony of Revelation, our bodies will also be resurrected into eternal life and will be partakers of the bliss of the righteous or the endless torments of sinners. This is also a stumbling block for unbelievers and a deep mystery for believers.

They consider impossible the restoration and Resurrection of bodies completely destroyed by decay, or burned, turned into dust and gases, decomposed into atoms. But if during the life of the body the spirit was most closely connected with it, with all organs and tissues, penetrating all the molecules and atoms of the body, was its organizing principle, then why should this connection disappear forever after the death of the body? Why is it unthinkable that this connection has been preserved forever, and at the moment of the general Resurrection, at the sound of the Archangel's trumpet, the connection of the immortal spirit with all the physical and chemical elements of the decayed body will be restored and the organizing and form-creating power of the spirit will again manifest itself? Nothing disappears, but only changes" = St. Luke the Blessed Surgeon
