In LOVE IN GOLGOTHA THE GARDEN OF REDEMPTION, we discuss how death itself and the prince of death could be destroyed only by Christ, who is above all, giving Himself up as a ransom for all. All of us, by nature, are born dead, that is alienated from God. But of course, death is more than just separation from God. Death also marks the separation of the soul from the body. God made human beings to be embodied souls and ensouled bodies, and death rips this union asunder.
On the cross our Lord’s human flesh died. We pray in the Liturgy of the Mass, “He gave His flesh up for us all upon the Holy wood of the cross of His Own will. His Divinity parted not from His Humanity, for a single moment nor a twinkling of an eye.” That death was the price of sinfulness of the whole world. In that death, His Human Soul left His Body, though His Divinity never separated from either His Soul or His Body. But what happens to these two parts of our Lord’s human body after they separated at His death? In this book you can find answers to these questions and more.
