They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise." - Lk 20:34-36 READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 10, 2013 Sunday: 2 Mc 7:1-2, 9-14/2 Thes 2:16--3:5/ Lk 20:27-38 or 20:27, Monday: Wis 1:1-7/Lk 17:1-6 Tuesday: Wis 2:23--3:9/Lk 17:7-10 Wednesday: Wis 6:1-11/Lk 17:11-19 Thursday: Wis 7:22b--8:1/Lk 17:20-25 Friday: Wis 13:1-9/Lk 17:26-37 Saturday: Wis 18:14-16; 19:6-9/Lk 18:1-8 Next Sunday: Mal 3:19-20a/2 Thes 3:7-12/Lk 21: ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME We are entering into the final weeks of Ordinary Time, and our focus now shifts to the end times. Today we consider our belief in the life of the world to come as we hear stories about people at the very end of their earthly lives. As we move through our celebration today, let our prayer be for the courage to emulate their example as we await the coming of the Lord. Puzzles are a kind of trap that we allow ourselves to walk into because we think we can find a way out. Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, word games, Rubik's cubes all invite us to match our wits against the creator of the puzzle. Sometimes, after spending an excessive amount of time in trying to find the solution, we will walk away, only to return a few hours later to perceive the puzzle with new insight and quickly overcome whatever impasse prevented us from solving the puzzle. Weekend Edition Sunday on National Public Radio always has a "Sunday Puzzle." Numerous times the guest participants will mention how they came to the answer through a moment of insight. In this weekend's Gospel, the Sadducees come forward with a puzzle for Jesus. It is a trap they try to lay for him, one which they themselves don't even acknowledge since they don't believe in a resurrection. They ask Jesus whose wife someone will be after the deaths of multiple husbands. It's a puzzle that begs for an answer, especially in a culture in which male relatives are responsible for the widow of a brother. Like any great puzzle solver, Jesus breaks apart their argument with his own burst of insight suggesting that they not limit their thinking to this world. We are created beings who live in a physical world. But we also have a spiritual dimension to our existence that transcends the limitations of our physicality. So often, our perceptions of the afterlife are limited because we only know the world in which we live. All the descriptions of life in eternity are analogous because we have no direct experience of what it is. As Jesus relates in the Gospel, the heavenly realm is completely different from this world. The categories of created reality do not apply. Instead we are risen as children of God. If we try to puzzle out who we are after we die, the answer Jesus would give us is that we are alive to God Liturgical Publications Inc
