"First World problems" is a phrase that's come into common use. It describes what
we in a country of privilege see as challenges that pale in comparison to the serious,
life-threatening problems of people in other countries. First World problems include
computer crashes that destroy all your documents, a stylist coloring your hair two
shades darker than usual, or having to send French fries back because you ordered
a salad. Yes, some are particularly challenging, but they aren't on the scale ofsurviving war or trying to afford basic daily food.
The Sadducees in today's Gospel are concerned with "First Life" problems.
They're using an earthly issue to challenge Jesus' teaching on resurrection. Jesus
doesn't engage in their game-playing; he says earthly concerns like marriage aren't
the concerns of the "second Life"-the life of resurrection. He doesn't give details
about this life, simply assuring them that God has promised it: "to God, all are
alive."Though we might not test Jesus like the Sadducees tried to, we do have questions
about resurrected life. What will it be like? Who will be there? How will it compare
to life here on earth? We try to imagine life after death with our limited minds, but
resurrected life is beyond our ability to comprehend while we're in our First Life.
We're called to trust in our covenant relationship with God-a relationship that
continues beyond death. Jesus reminds us, *'God is notthe God of the dead, but ofthe living."
We do know one thing about resurrected [ife: We'll be alive with God. And
nothing can be better than that.Janel Esker [email protected]

d e ar PAD Rf,
0(^) I was taught that eulagia are not to be giuen at funeral Masses.\'r3' Well, I'ue been to many Catlwlic funerals, and each included a
eulogy. Did the rule change?
Practice and rules vary from diocese to diocese and
even from parish to parish. However, according to the2002 General Instruction of the Roman Missa[ "At the FuneralMass there should, as a rule, be a short homily, but never
a eulogy of any kind" (382).The Order of Christian Funerals
says the same thing (14\).A homily is a talk about the Scripture readings that puts
the focus onJesus and his work of saving us from sin and
death by his resurrection. A eulory is a talk about thedeceased person-a biography of sorts. This really isn'tappropriate for t Catholic funeral Mass, which is a
celebration of the deceased's eternal life with God rather
than a celebration of his or her earthly life.Tbe arder af Christian Funerals allows a family member
or friend to speak about the deceased after Communion(170). Often referred to es words of rentem*brance, the idea is
for one person to speak for no more than a few minutes
about how the deceased person lived his or her faith.A better place for a traditional eulogy and for family and
friends to celebrate the life of the deceased person is at the
wake or at a postfuneral gathering.Fr. John Hamrogue, CSsR stt [email protected]
