week to live when the we must say about heaven We necessarily live in time
events of today’s gospel
took place. So it’s perhaps
not surprising for him to be
talking about life after death
and teaching against the
Sadducees that there is a
resurrection that all created
flesh will share in. Because
the Sadducees didn’t
believe in a resurrection
they tried to trick Jesus
into giving a stupid answer to their farcical
case of a woman who
was the surviving widow
of her husband and six
brothers-in-law. Whose
wife would she be in
heaven?
is that it’s the fulfilment of
all our desires and yearnings for God. Jesus enticed
his listeners by saying that
no eye had seen nor ear
heard what God has in
store for us. It goes far beyond what we could ever
W
Y
et this is the sort
of question that
many people ask even today. Will my dog be with
me in heaven? Will I recognise people I’ve known
here on earth? What will
happen if I come face to
face with someone who’s
been my sworn enemy?
What about my best friend
who doesn’t believe in
God? And what if I don’t
like it?!
but God’s eternal nature
means that he experiences
infinity at every moment; in
fact “moment” is too restricting for a God who exists free from the boundaries of time. After our resurrection we share in that
“instantaneousness” of
God. We are caught up
in the immediacy of
God. There is no yesterday or tomorrow
about heaven. It’s an
eternal “now”.

see God face to face and
as we gaze on his glory we
are moved to the profoundest level of love, a love
which leaves no room for
any kind of emptiness or
regret.
T
he second thing that
we need to remember is that God is eternal,
hen we view
heaven in this
way we realise that
many of our questions
and difficulties about it
are simply man-made
and woman-inspired. We
naturally have a tendency
to tie things down to our
own experience of reality.
Yet today Jesus tells us
that the afterlife is radically
different from some of the
ways we conceive of it.
That’s why he says that the
Lord is God not of the dead
but of the living: for to God
all people are in fact alive.
November –
The Month of the Holy Souls:
During this month we remember our dear
dead with love and gratitude. You can
have your dead remembered during November in a special way at all Parish
Masses by listing their names on your
own paper and putting the list in an envelope (your own or one of those you will
find in the porch) and hand it in (no money in those envelopes please!) at the
church or the presbytery. These envelopes – with their lists – will be placed on
the Altar during all Masses in November
and the names will be remembered there.
If you would like to offer a Mass for your
departed loved one, please use the special Mass offering envelope.
SVP Christmas Gift Initiative -
