The Theme of this Sunday’s Readings: Victory over Death and the Gift of Life When God created man, He created him to be immortal and to live forever in fellowship with his Creator God.

A consequence of our original parents’ fall from grace was that sin broke man’s immortal tie with God. The human soul remained immortal, but the loss of divine grace meant the closing of the gates of Heaven to all humanity and the curse of physical suffering and death until the coming of the Redeemer-Messiah. The promised Redeemer Messiah’s mission was to break the power of sin and death over humanity and to reopen the gates of Heaven. It is in thanksgiving for the promise of the gift of our salvation that we sing as we do in today’s Psalm: “I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.” God has declared victory over death and has “brought us up from the netherworld” of Sheol, from “the pit” of death. And as St. Paul writes in his Epistle to the Corinthians, we should offer thanksgiving to Christ Jesus for His victory over death and His gift of renewed life in the Sacrament of Baptism by imitating Him in our deeds of love and generosity to others. In today’s Gospel, we read about Jesus’ dominion over the forces of physical death as He calls a little girl who had died to arise from death and restored to a woman to her community. Jesus uses the same Greek word to command the child to “arise” that is later used to describe His Resurrection. These two stori es point to Jesus’ authority and power as God’s supreme prophet and divine Messiah. And they also point to the promise that we will also be restored body and soul and raised from the dead when Christ returns to call all of the dead to “arise” in the Resurrection of the dead at His Second Advent. It is as Jesus told Martha of Bethany when He said, “I AM the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” (Agapebiblestudy.com) TABERNACLE AND ALTAR FLOWERS are offered Eric & Ami Healy in appreciation for the Knights of Columbus’ steadfast commitment to the families of Holy Infant Parish.

The Theme of this Sunday’s Readings: Victory over Death and the Gift of Life

When God created man, He created him to be immortal and to live forever in fellowship with his Creator God. God did not create death, as the First Reading tells us. Death entered the world through the devil’s envy and because of Adam and Eve’s sin of rebellion. A consequence of our original parents’ fall from grace was that sin broke man’s immortal tie with God. The human soul remained immortal, but the loss of divine grace meant the closing of the gates of Heaven to all humanity and the curse of physical suffering and death until the coming of the Redeemer-Messiah. The promised Redeemer Messiah’s mission was to break the power of sin and death over humanity and to reopen the gates of Heaven. It is in thanksgiving for the promise of the gift of our salvation that we sing as we do in today’s Psalm: “I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.” God has declared victory over death and has “brought us up from the netherworld” of Sheol, from “the pit” of death. And as St. Paul writes in his Epistle to the Corinthians, we should offer thanksgiving to Christ Jesus for His victory over death and His gift of renewed life in the Sacrament of Baptism by imitating Him in our deeds of love and generosity to others. In today’s Gospel, we read about Jesus’ dominion over the forces of physical death as He calls a little girl who had died to arise from death and restored to a woman to her community. Jesus uses the same Greek word to command the child to “arise” that is later used to describe His Resurrection. These two stories point to Jesus’ authority and power as God’s supreme prophet and divine Messiah. And they also point to the promise that we will also be restored body and soul and raised from the dead when Christ returns to call all of the dead to “arise” in the Resurrection of the dead at His Second Advent. It is as Jesus told Martha of Bethany when He said, “I AM the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” (Agapebiblestudy.com)
