32ND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME November 6th, 2016

TODAY’S GOSPEL TELLS US . . .

Gospel: Luke 19: 1-10

In this gospel Luke presents us with an altercation between Jesus and the Sadducees about life after death. Jesus has arrived in Jerusalem, facing his own imminent death and resurrection. For the Sadducees, one’s immortality was contingent on having progeny, the tradition and context of their argument about marrying and remarrying taken to extremes. Jesus answers them by asserting that there is no marriage and remarriage in heaven because there is no dying in heaven. In heaven, “all are alive,” in perfect union with God. The proof of Jesus’ truth is his own resurrection, his own perfect union with his Father. The promise of Jesus’ truth is our resurrection, our perfect union with God.

to escape what they perceive to be an intolerable situation, and they inaccurately believe that suicide is

their only way out.” — “Every Suicide is Tragic,”
