Religion

 

"As Catholics, we believe in the resurrection of the body. We profess it in
our creed. We are taught that to bury and pray for the dead are corporal and
spiritual works of mercy. We honor the dead in our Liturgy through the Rite
of Christian burial. We do all of this, and more, because when Jesus Christ
took on flesh for the salvation of our souls he also bestowed great dignity
on our bodies. In Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the
Resurrection of the Body, Scott Hahn explores the significance of death and
burial from a Catholic perspective. The promise of the bodily resurrection
brings into focus the need for the dignified care of our bodies at the hour
of death. Unpacking both Scripture and Catholic teaching, Hope to Die
reminds us that we are destined for glorification on the last day. Our
bodies have been made by a God who loves us. Even in death, those bodies
point to the mystery of our salvation."--
