Will we still have scars in heaven? Why did Jesus retain His wounds after the Resurrection?

In this clip from Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Patrick explore what St. Thomas Aquinas teaches about the resurrected body and the surprising significance of our wounds in eternal life.

Rather than being signs of imperfection, the wounds of Christ and the saints can become glorious testimonies to faith, courage, and love. Discover how suffering can be transformed into a source of joy and what Christ's resurrected body reveals about our own eternal destiny.
