(For Minsters to the Home-bound)
God my creator breathe on me
again, renew me, refresh me,
extend my abilities, comfort me
in adjusting to changes in
health, mobility and
activity.
Body and Blood of Jesus Christ
flow through every fibre of my
being.
Keep me well, and hope filled
always.
Holy Spirit use me in my
situation, for the good of
others. Amen.

Responsorial Psalm 16
Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Lord, hear a cause that is just, pay heed to my cry. Turn your ear to my prayer: no deceit is on my lips.
I keep my feet firmly in your paths; there was no faltering in my steps. I am here and I call, you will hear me, O God. Turn your ear to me; hear my words.
Guard me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. As for me, in my justice I shall see your face and be filled, when I awake, with the sight of your glory.
Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.

Gospel Connections - Luke 20: 27 - 38
Some Sadducees – those who say that there is no resurrection – approached Jesus and they put this question to him, ‘Master, we have it from Moses in writing, that if a man’s married brother dies childless, the man must marry the widow to raise up children for his brother. Well, then, there were seven brothers. The first, having married a wife, died childless. The second and then the third married the widow. And the same with all seven, they died leaving no children. Finally the woman herself died. Now, at the resurrection, to which of them will she be wife since she had been married to all seven?’
Jesus replied, ‘The children of this world take wives and husbands, but those who are judged worthy of a place in the other world and in the resurrection from the dead do not marry because they can no longer die, for they are the same as the angels, and being children of the resurrection they are sons of God. And Moses himself implies that the dead rise again, in the passage about the bush where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now he is God, not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all men are in fact alive.’
Reflection - Diane Bergant CSA
Both the reading from Maccabees and the passage from the gospel speak of resurrection. The first is a
testimony of faith, the second demonstrates a measure of scorn that accompanies unbelief. Belief in
resurrection is not the same as the conviction of the immortality of the soul. The latter is based on the
makeup of the human person; the former rests on the fidelity of God. The doctrine of resurrection is
grounded in the concept of covenant, which claims that God has established a relationship with human
beings. At issue is whether or not death is powerful enough to break the ties that bind us in covenant
with God. Jesus says ‘No!’
If this is the future that awaits us, how are we to live until it dawns? Actually, it has already dawned. This
is the eschatological hope in which we live by the grace given us from God through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Our future is already present and, therefore, we are called to live lives that have been radically
transformed. However, the future has not yet completely dawned, and so we find ourselves living both in
this age and in the age to come. Thus we live future lives, but we live them in the present. As difficult as
this may be, we have the promise that the Lord will strengthen us and guard us. We have the instruction
of our religious tradition that directs our minds and hearts. When we live lives of the future, we truly
enable that future to dawn in the present.
