Catechism: Dying in Christ Jesus
To rise with Christ, we must die with Christ: "We must be away from the body and at home with the Lord."(1 Cor 5:8). In a sense bodily death is natural, but for faith it is in fact "the wages of sin" (Gaudium et Spes 18). For those who die in Christ's grace it is a participation in the death of the Lord, so that they can also share in his Resurrection. Death is the end of earthly life. Our lives are measured by time, in the course of which we change, grow old and, as with all living beings on earth, death seems like the normal end of life. That aspect of death lends urgency to our lives: remembering our mortality helps us realise we have only a limited time in which to bring our lives to fulfilment: "Remember also your creator in the days of your youth. before the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." (Eccl 12:1, 7) (Summary of Catechism paras. 105-7)
