"Easter is a celebration of the centrality of the body in the Christian faith, because it is a celebration of the resurrection of the Lord, and, as Christians, we confess the resurrection of the body, as in the creed: 'I believe in ... the resurrection of the body.
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church puts it strongly: '"The flesh is the hinge of salvation" (Tertullian, De res. 8, 2: PL 2, 852). We believe in God who is creator of the flesh; we believe in the Word made flesh in order to redeem the flesh; we believe in the resurrection of the flesh, the fulfillment of both the creation and the redemption of the flesh.'"
In a recent commentary, Dr. Michael Pakaluk, Professor at the Busch School of Business, Catholic University of America,
reflected on this passage and its meaning for us.
