Let us pray to Christ the Lord, who bathed the world in glory through his resurrection. With joyful hearts let us say:
Christ, our life, hear our prayer.
Lord Jesus Christ, you walked with your disciples on the way,
— be with your Church on its pilgrimage through life.
Christ, our life, hear our prayer.
Do not let us be slow to believe,
— but ready to proclaim you as victor over death.
Christ, our life, hear our prayer.
Look with kindness on those who do not recognize your presence,
— reveal yourself to them, so that they may welcome you as Savior.
Christ, our life, hear our prayer.
Through the cross you have brought reconciliation to mankind in your body,
— grant unity and peace to all nations.
Christ, our life, hear our prayer.
Judge of the living and the dead,
— forgive the sins of the faithful departed.
Christ, our life, hear our prayer.

The Resurrection of the Body
Saint Paul the Apostle said, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” The Resurrection of Our Lord from the dead is the ultimate foundation of the Catholic Faith, “the resurrection of the body,” and “life everlasting” as in our Credo. But what will happen to the bodies of the living and the dead after the Second Coming of Christ? Read this Post to find out what it means to have “glorified bodies” in Heaven.
