Jesus said to them, "The children of this

age marry and remarry; but 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. 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

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

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

Please Pray for Priests

Dear Lord, we pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around

your priests and through her intercession strengthen them for their minis-

try. We pray that Mary will guide your priests to follow her own words,

"Do whatever He tells you" (Jn 2:5).

May your priests have the heart of St. Joseph, Mary's most chaste spouse.

May the Blessed Mother's own pierced heart inspire them to embrace

all who suffer at the foot of the cross. May your priests be holy,

filled with the fire of your love seeking nothing but your greater glory and

the salvation of souls. Amen. Saint John Vianney, pray for us. ©USCCB

Please Pray for our Soldiers Blase Musick, Jacob Tumbleson, Jason Bellar
