The Body's Rising

Et si obiiciatur, quod corpus non est nisi sicut instrumentum in operibus virtutum: instrumentum autem praemiari non debet: et sic corpus non oportet resurgere. Dicendum quod corpus in agendo cum anima est unum compositum cum ea: et ideo plus est quam instrumentum. Oportet igitur, quod resurgat. Sanctus Albertus Magnus, Commentarium in Mattheum, Caput XXII Source: Here, p361

And if it is objected that the body is nothing more than an instrument in the works of virtue, and because it is a mere instrument it should not receive a reward, and so the body should not rise, it must be said that the body acting with the soul is one whole with it, and therefore it is much more than an instrument. Therefore it befits that it shall rise. Saint Albert The Great, Commentary On The Gospel of St Matthew, Chapter 22
