Will We Have Stretch Marks in Heaven?

In today's episode, we prepare our hearts for Holy Week by contemplating Aquinas and asking whether or not their will be stretch marks in Heaven.

Mentioned in today's episode:
St. Thomas Aquinas: Whether Christ's body ought to have risen with its scars?
1) He kept His scars not from inability to heal them, "but to wear them as an everlasting trophy of His victory.
2) Secondly, to confirm the hearts of the disciples as to "the faith in His Resurrection"
3) Thirdly, "that when He pleads for us with the Father, He may always show the manner of death He endured for us"
4) Fourthly, "that He may convince those redeemed in His blood, how mercifully they have been helped, as He exposes before them the traces of the same death"
5) Lastly, "Christ knew why He kept the scars in His body. For, as He showed them to Thomas who would not believe except he handled and saw them, so will He show His wounds to His enemies, so that He who is the Truth may convict them, saying: 'Behold the man whom you crucified; see the wounds you inflicted; recognize the side you pierced, since it was opened by you and for you, yet you would not enter.'"
