Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, 10th November

Luke 20:27–38

Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came
to Jesus and asked him a question, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a
man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the
widow and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the
first married, and died childless; then the second and the third married her,
and so in the same way all seven died childless. Finally the woman also died.
In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had
married her." Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry
and are given in marriage; but those who are considered worthy of a place in
that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in
marriage. Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are
children of God, being children of the resurrection. And the fact that the dead
are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks
of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Now
he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are
alive."

Reflection

Can I see that at the doorway of death life is changed, not
ended?

Do I really believe the communion of saints?
