“When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven.” Mk 12:18-27
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Today, Jesus is teaching us something about the connection of our body and souls and what will happen when our bodies rise from the dead. He is being tested by the Sadducees who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. Basically, Jesus says that whatever marital relations a person has is transcended by the creative power of God.
Bishop Barron states, “Heaven is a place where our bodiliness will be so rich and so intense that we will be able to relate to all those around us in the most intimate and powerful way possible. And there we will be fully alive, for as Jesus explained from the Torah, God is not God of the dead but of the living.“
Jesus came to marry the human and divine. Due to the resurrection of His body, we now can receive the same eternal state of our body. In eternal life, we will have a glorified body. The physical or natural world will be the same, it’s nature. It calls to mind what St. Augustine said, “why do we want to cling to the things of this world, when everything is going to be better in the next?”
Today’s challenge: Continue to bring yourself to the avenues of grace God has given to us through His Son so that you too will be able to enjoy being fully alive in heaven with the Holy Trinity and all of the angels and saints!
Be a servant, be a saint today!
