"All the evidence of Scripture in the Old and New Testaments indicates that each of us will be reunited with our own individual body. The prophet Job looked forward to the day when, “In my own flesh I shall see God . . . my eyes shall behold Him” (Job 19:26-27). St. Paul reminds us that, “This perishable nature must put on the imperishable” (I Corinthians 15:53).

"This stands to reason. It is inconceivable that at the resurrection we would not be essentially the same persons we have been during our mortal lives on earth. As persons, we possess our own body and soul. During the temporary separation of soul from body, each still belongs to each of us as distinct human beings. When our bodies are reunited with our souls, they will be our bodies, not someone else’s. They will be our bodies and not some new creation that never existed before.

"All of this is consistent with the whole tenor of divine revelation. It is the individual person, each with his own unique body united with his own unique soul who will rise on the last day to receive the just recompense for his individual human conduct, in body and soul, during his mortal stay on earth."

Hey, if He can change water into wine, why not "reconstitute" one's physical body/essence? It could happen :-) Jesus showed himself to Thomas who didn't believe either? Wasn't just a "ghost."
