Question 460

Good afternoon pater. I have a question that i was discussing with my husband recently. Supposedly and hopefully, there is life after death. When a person dies, does his soul stay the age he dies whether it is a baby or an 80 year old? 

 

Answer to Question 460

The person's age is according to the body, but the soul is eternal and doesn't have an age so whether one dies as a baby or an old man the age of the soul always remains the same. Heaven has its own time frame very different to earthly time
