Lord God, Father of all mankind, you desire to gather together your scattered children in unity of faith,

Through the Spirit you make all things new,
— heal the sick, comfort the distressed, give salvation to all.
Send your Holy Spirit into the Church.
Through the Spirit you raised your Son from the dead,
— raise up the bodies of the dead into everlasting life.
Send your Holy Spirit into the Church.

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.
If you are unable to physically receive Holy Communion, especially if you are under lockdown or in isolation in the midst of this pandemic, make a solemn recitation of this Prayer for Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
