WHY A YOUTH?

ISIDORE OF SEVILLE: Why a “young man”? [1] The resurrection of the dead, as the apostle declares, will be “unto the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ,” [2] that is, in the season of youth, which needs no further development and which is free from all defect, complete in every respect, having fullness of strength. SENTENCES 1.29. [3]

[1] Cf. Mk 16:5.
