From the Desk of Father John Jicha

Dear Parishioners,

In this weekend's gospel, the Sadducees argued with Jesus, saying that his teaching about the resurrection of the dead could imply polyandry – a woman having multiple husbands - in heaven. Notice that they're not worried about polygamy, a man preceded in death by seven wives. Wives were thought of as a possession, given away in marriage - like slaves - and according to logic of the Sadducees, one could conceivably own more than one such possession at a time.

Polyandry, multiple husbands “owning” the same woman, was different. One woman could not serve seven husbands in heaven, because all of them would have had eternally irreconcilable rival claims on her as their exclusive possession.

But Jesus tells the Sadducees that they're being far too literal. No one will be possessed by anyone in the life to come. Moreover, because even the healthiest marital love on earth is of necessity exclusive - certainly that was Jesus' understanding - it is just a faint image of the unimaginably great love of heaven, which is of necessity non-exclusive. Thus in heaven there is no marriage as we think of it and hence no polyandry or polygamy. The love of heaven is greater than marital love at its very best because it is not exclusive, all are fully free, no one possesses anyone else, there are no conflicting claims.

Desde el Escritorio del Padre Juan Antonio

Los Saduseos no creian en la resurrección de los Muertos ni otra vida, por eso en esta lección le presentan un caso a Jesús de una mujer que estubo casada legitimamente con siete esposos aplicando la ley del levirato que consiste en que una mujer vuida que se debe casar con uno de los hermanos del fallecido esposo para continuar la linea sucesoria y desendencia familiar, el nombre del primer varon de esta nueva union ha de ser el mismo que el correspondiente al difunto, y heredará sus bienes. Moisés nos dejó escrito: “Si a uno se le muere su hermano, dejando mujer pero sin hijos, que tome la mujer como esposa y de descendencia a su hermano.” Pues bien, había siete hermanos; el primero se casó y murió sin hijos. El segundo y el tercero se casaron con ella, y así los siete, y murieron todos sin dejar hijos. Por último, también murió la mujer. Cuando llegue la resurrección, ¿de cuál de ellos será la mujer? Porque los siete la tuvieron como mujer». Jesús les dijo: “En este mundo los hombres se casan y las mujeres toman esposo, pero los que sean juzgados dignos de tomar parte en el mundo futuro y en la resurrección de entre los muertos no se casarán ni ellas serán dadas en matrimonio. Pues ya no pueden morir, ya que son como ángeles; y son hijos de Dios, porque son hijos de la resurrección”. Y que los muertos resucitan, lo indicó el mismo Moisés en el episodio de la zarza, cuando llama al Señor: “Dios de Abrahán, Dios de Isaac, Dios de Jacob”. No es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos: porque para él todos están vivos». El segundo libro de los Macabeos nos presenta una fe firme en la vida eterna en el relato del Martirio de una madre con sus siete hijos por ser fieles a Dios y rechazar los mandatos de los hombres. “Qué pretendes sacar de nosotros? Estamos dispuestos a morir antes que quebrantar la ley de nuestros padres”. 2 Macabeos 7:2 “Tú, asesino, nos quitas la vida presente; pero, cuando hayamos muerto por su ley, el Rey del universo nos resucitará para una vida eterna».2 Macabeos 7:9 “Vale la pena morir a manos de los hombres, cuando se tiene la esperanza de que Dios mismo nos resucitará. Tú, en cambio, no resucitarás para la vida”. 2 Macabeos 7:14 Jesús nos ha enseñado la doctrina sobre la vida eternal “Que no tiemble vuestro corazón; creed en Dios y creed también en mí. En la casa de mi Padre hay muchas estancias; si no fuera así, ¿os habría dicho que voy a prepararos sitio? Cuando vaya y os prepare sitio, volveré y os llevaré conmigo, para que donde estoy yo, estéis también vosotros. Juan 14: 1-3.

Reading I: Malachi 3: 19-20a The wicked will be subject to burning in the “oven” while those who fear the Lord will feel the welcome warmth of the sun of justice.

Reading II: II Thessalonians 3: 7-12 Certain people have not accepted Paul’s example of working for his livelihood. By not working, they interfere with others in the community who strive for a stable way of living.

The Gospel: Luke 21: 5-19 Jesus had met controversy all throughout His ministry, especially in Jerusalem. He predicts the same treatment for His disciples. But He urges them to persevere amid all of it, knowing that His triumph will be theirs as well.
