When I say my soul is immortal, I mean that my soul can never die.
The soul is immortal because it is spiritual rather than material. While the body experiences death and returns to the earth, the soul continues to exist. Catholics believe that every person will live forever, either in perfect union with God or separated from Him by their own free choice. Death is therefore not the end of existence but the beginning of eternity. This truth gives great importance to the choices we make in this life. Because the soul survives death, our relationship with God matters far more than temporary earthly success or pleasure. The immortality of the soul also gives Christians hope when facing death, reminding them that God created human beings for eternal life. At the end of time, Christ will raise the dead and reunite each soul with a glorified body, completing Gods plan for His children.
The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is immortal: it does not perish when it separates from the body at death. By death the soul is separated from the body, but in the resurrection God will give incorruptible life to our transformed body.
Wisdom 3:1
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them.
