What Does the Resurrection Mean for Our Bodies?

04/03/24 • 46 min

Uncover the rich meaning behind the Christian belief of the resurrection and the glorified body, as my husband, David Castillo, with his deep theological knowledge, joins me to illuminate what awaits us beyond this life.
We delve into Christ's post-resurrection appearances to envision what our future selves might be like and the profound implications this has for treating our current bodies with reverence and care.

Together, we navigate through Easter's central message within our faith, challenging the cultural tendency to spotlight Christmas over the transformative hope the resurrection brings to our everyday existence.
The dialogue doesn't shy away from the challenging concepts of suffering and the dignity of the body within the Catholic faith. We wrestle with the notion that our bodies are more than mere vessels, but rather, sacred components of our spiritual journey.
Drawing from the wisdom of St. Paul and the Catechism, we affirm that our physical struggles can be united with Christ's own pains, offering a redemptive perspective that elevates our understanding of bodily afflictions. This conversation aims to uphold the value of our physical existence and inspire you to see your body as an instrument to glorify God, even amidst the most trying times.
As we contemplate the promise of eternal life, we also examine how ascetic practices like fasting can enrich both our health and spiritual well-being. We explore the intersection of longevity science and spiritual disciplines, contrasting transhumanist aspirations with our anticipation of the resurrection. And for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness, I share how coaching could be a transformative step towards aligning body and soul.
