CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION

The possibility or certitude of life after the death of our earthly bodies has fascinated religions throughout the world and across the centuries. It certainly is the topic up-permost on the minds of the Sadducees today. They did not believe in a life after this life or a world where angels or other bodiless spirits dwelled. This constricted their ability, then, to imagine such a world or such a life, and made them imagine or construct it according to the life they knew as mortal creatures. Indeed, such a tendency can be seen—even among Christians—today, when we speak of being rejoined or reunited with the faithful departed in a contin-ued, if improved, version of the relationship we had with them. But God is a living God, Jesus points out, and those who believe in this God are made children of the resurrec-tion to life everlasting. This is important, as today’s Gospel dispute concludes Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem to face his ultimate confrontation, culminating in his resurrection. His forthrightness foretells what the apostle Paul will write to the Thessalonians: “[T]he Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

EQUAL IN DIGNITY TO THE ANGELS Television, greeting cards, and some church orna-mentation have done a disservice to the biblical notion of angels. Popular imagination perceives them as gentle, safe, and fluffy. Their job description is cast mostly in human, egocentric terms: to keep danger from us, to console us, to restore a sense of wonder or the miraculous to our narrow-mindedness. Some of this has its basis in the biblical tradi-tions. But, above all else, the biblical angels were direct mes-sengers of God. Their voice was God’s voice, their presence was the presence of the celestial throne of the Almighty. People were often startled or outright scared at their arrival, and had to be told not to fear; their messages were often difficult to hear, leading mortals into thorny situations. The children of the Resurrection—all of us, born of the living God—are equal in dignity to these angels. But in Christ we already have the power of resurrected life to be strong her-ald messengers of God. This is the call of all Christian disci-ples. For this, Paul tells us, we are made strong in God who is not only a living God, but a faithful and loving God as well. Through God we will be given the endurance in Christ necessary to live out the vocation of our baptism. Today’s Readings: 2 Maccabees 7:1–2, 9–14; Psalm 17:1, 5–6, 8, 15; 2 Thes-salonians 2:16 — 3:5; Luke 20:27–38 [27, 34–38] Copyright © 2006, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Dear Holy Name Parent, Thank you goes out to the Class of ‘57 who sent a gener-ous donation of $800 to their alma mater. As you may recall they had their 50th reunion a few weeks ago. They were treated to tours of the school by some of our gener-ous spirited 8th grade Ambassadors who gave up half of their Saturday to be available.

Blessings, Ann Meyers Manchester, Ed. D.
