ST Suppl., q. 82

Of the Impassibility of the Bodies of the Blessed After Their Resurrection

Supplementcompiled posthumously from Aquinas's early Sentences commentary

We must now consider the conditions under which the blessed rise again, and (1) the impassibility of their bodies; (2) their subtlety; (3) their agility; (4) their clarity. Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the bodies of the saints will be impassible after the resurrection?

(2) Whether all will be equally impassible?

(3) Whether this impassibility renders the glorious bodies?

(4) Whether in them all the senses are in act?
