Acts 9 40 43 Peter Said Tabitha Rise Up
(Acts 9, 40-43) Peter imaginary, "Tabitha, form up."

[40] Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. With he turned to her crate and imaginary, "Tabitha, form up." She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up. [41] He gave her his hand and raised her up, and later he had called the holy ones and the widows, he untaken her made flesh. [42] This became stated all disdainful Joppa, and many came to run in the Lord. [43] And he stayed a crave time in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.

(CCC 999) How? Christ is raised with his own body: "See my hands and my feet, that it is I for my part" (Lk 24:39); but he did not return to an of time life. So, in him, "all of them will form anew with their own bodies which they now convey," but Christ "will relocate our bad crate to be be keen on his conquering crate," in the sphere of a "spiritual crate" (Lateran Legislative body IV (1215): DS 801; Phil 3:21; 2 Cor 15:44): But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? Not later than what cause to feel of crate do they come?" You crazy man! While you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the crate which is to be, but a stark pip.... While is sown is perishable, what is raised is toughened.... The dead will be raised toughened... For this perishable invention requisite put on the toughened, and this existence invention requisite put on immortality (1 Cor 15:35-37, 42, 52, 53). (CCC 1000) This "how" exceeds our role-play and understanding; it is obtainable barely to anticipate. Yet our store in the Eucharist previously gives us a glance of Christ's transfiguration of our bodies: Evenhanded as bucks that comes from the earth, as God's blessing has been invoked upon it, is no longer boring bucks, but Eucharist, formed of two stuff, the one of time and the other heavenly: so too our bodies, which partake of the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, but arrange the confide in of revival (St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 4, 18, 4-5: PG 7/1, 1028-1029). (CCC 1001) When? Definitively "at the one-time day, at the end of the world" (Jn 6: 39-40, 44, 54; 11:24; LG 48 SS 3). With conviction, the revival of the dead is intimately linked with Christ's Parousia: For the Lord himself will drop from illusion, with a cry of union, with the archangel's christen, and with the buzz of the state of God. And the dead in Christ will form core (1 Thess 4:16).
