Saint John’s Theology Day: The Resurrection of the Dead and the Life of the World to Come

Saint John’s – Theology Day

The Resurrection of the Dead and the Life of the World to Come

Speaker Fr. Michael Patella, OSB

Thursday, November 2, 6:30PM-9:00PM, Teresa of Calcutta Hall

Our faith tells us that with Christ’s resurrection comes the promise that one day we, too, like him shall bodily arise. Yet, this belief in the resurrection also leaves us Christians with many questions: What will we look like in the life to come? Will we recognize our loved ones, and will they recognize us? What kind of existence can we expect? What is the difference between immortality, reincarnation, and resurrected life? How do judgment of the dead, hell, purgatory, and heaven fit into the picture? Drawing from Scripture and Tradition, Fr Michael Patella will discuss the Christian doctrine of the resurrection of the dead along with its implications for us now and in the hereafter.
