57. Q.

What comfort does
the resurrection of the body
offer you?

A.
Not only shall my soul
after this life
immediately be taken up
to Christ, my Head, 1
but also this my flesh,
raised by the power of Christ,
shall be reunited with my soul
and made like Christ's glorious body. 2

58. Q.

What comfort do you receive
from the article about
the life everlasting?

A.
Since I now already
feel in my heart
the beginning of eternal joy, 1
I shall after this life
possess perfect blessedness,
such as no eye has seen,
nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man conceived ?
a blessedness in which to praise God forever. 2
