32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time / 32o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ⦁ November 6, 2016

Reflexión

La primera lectura nos da pautas clave para darnos cuenta de lo difıcil que fue para los judıos de este tiempo serle #iel a Dios. Si usted se toma algun tiempo en casa para leer mas de este pasaje vera lo heroico de los siete hermanos y su madre al dar la vida por su fe. La lectura breve que escuchamos de ellos nos narra experiencias vividas por este pueblo 175 anos antes de Cristo, donde todos los que creıan y eran #ieles a Dios, resucitarıan en el ultimo dıa. Ademas, este pasaje ayuda a comprender el porque los saduceos le preguntan a Jesus sobre la resur-reccion en la cual este grupo no creıa. Ellos no aceptaban ninguna parte de la Biblia, excepto los cinco primeros libros, no creıan en angeles ni espıritus. ¿Cual es la diferencia entre los siete hermanos Macabeos y su madre y el grupo de los saduceos? ¿Se ve algo relacionado sobre la for-ma de creer en nuestro tiempo? Jesus clari#ica donde estaban equivocados en su forma de pensar. Les dice algo completamente diferente. "No se casaran ni podran ya morir, porque seran como los angeles e hijos de Dios, pues el los habra resu-citado" (Lc 20, 36). ¡Les revela el misterio de la resurreccion! Nada de lo que vemos en este mundo se compara a lo que vendra. Todo depende de la fe, pero algo es seguro, somos creados para la vida eterna, vida que ni siquiera podemos imaginarnos. San Pablo lo describe ası: "Que el mismo Senor nuestro, Jesucristo, y nuestro Padre Dios, que nos ha amado y nos ha dado gratuitamente un consuelo eterno y una feliz es-peranaza..." (2 Tes 2, 16).

Reflection "Those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage." Jesus' response to the Sadducees regarding their question about the resurrection of the dead actually raises another question for us: what about marriage in heaven? We understand marriage to be "until death do us part," but what exactly becomes of this special relationship in the afterlife? Pope Francis gave a homily on this Gospel passage in which he dis-cussed the mysterious transformation that will take place for those who enter into the joy of heaven. The Holy Father tells us, Jesus explains that "life after death does not have the same parameters as our earthly life. Eternal life is another life, in another dimension where, among other things, there will be no marriage... The life that God prepares for us is not a mere embellishment of the present one: it surpasses our imagination, for God continually amazes us with his love and mercy" (Angelus, November 10, 2013). An interesting interpretation of this comes from Fr. Raniero Can-talamessa, the Preacher of the Papal Household, who said "marriage does not come to a complete end at death but is trans#igured" (Homily, Novem-ber 10, 2006). Catholic author Stephen Ray described it this way in a letter to his mother who was grieving the loss of her husband: "We cannot un-derstand our new spiritual bodies and heavenly existence any more than a caterpillar can comprehend what it will be like to be a butter#ly. We cannot anticipate how personal relationships will #lower in glory any more than [an] acorn can anticipate standing 50 feet tall." Whatever it will be, we can trust it will be wonderful!

DEVOTION TO MARY (A Rose for Mary Ministry}

Blessed Virgin Mary Please Pray This Week Especially for

In Memory of Gladys Walker

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who !led to thy protection, im-plored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left un-aided. Inspired with this con!idence, I !ly to thee, O Vir-gin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incar-nate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

The Rose often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. In rela-

tion to the Blessed Mother it displays perfect love, form, fra-

grance, and color. For Mary the thorns on the rose remind us

that Our Lord Jesus Christ wore a crown of thorns and gave up

his blood for all humanity, as His Mother, Mary witnessed this

suffering and death !irst hand at the foot of the cross.
