Psalm 17
2 Thessalonians 2:16 - 3:5
Luke 20:27-38
"Not everyone has faith; but the Lord, however, keeps faith."
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself,
may God our Father
who loved us
and in his mercy
gave us eternal consolation
and hope,
console your hearts
and strengthen them
for every good work
and word.
For the rest, brothers,
pray for us
that the word of the Lord
may make progress
and be hailed by many others,
even as it has been by you.
Pray that we may be delivered
from confused
and evil men.
For not everyone
has faith;
but the Lord,
however,
keeps faith;
he it is
who will strengthen you
and guard you against
the evil one.
In the Lord
we are confident
that you are doing
and will continue
to do whatever we enjoin.
May the Lord rule your hearts
in the love of God
and the constancy of Christ.
Verses for reflection:

"Hide me in the shadow of your wings." (Psalm 17)
"Paul prays: 'May our Lord console your hearts and strengthen them for every good work and word." (2 Thessalonians)
"The Lord says: 'God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.'" (Luke 20)

32nd Sunday of the Year (C)
Sunday Readings for Your Reflection: Liturgical Years 2011 (A), 2012 (B), and 2013 (C)

Liturgical readings
2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14
Psalm 17
2 Thessalonians 2:16 - 3:5
Luke 20:27-38
The Lord: the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob.
Some Sadducees came forward
(the ones who claim
there is no resurrection)
to pose this problem
to Jesus:
"Master,
Moses prescribed
that if a man's brother dies
leaving a wife and no child,
the brother should marry the widow
and raise posterity to his brother.
Now there were seven brothers.
The first one married
and died childless.
Next,
the second brother
married the widow,
then the third,
and so on.
All seven died
without leaving her
any children.
Finally
the widow herself died.
At the resurrection,
whose wife will she be?
Remember,
seven married her."
Jesus said to them:
"The children of this age marry
and are given in marriage,
but those judged worthy of a place
in the age to come
and of resurrection from the dead
do not.
They become like angels
and are no longer liable to death.
Sons of the resurrection,
they are sons of God.
Moses in the passage about the bush
showed that the dead rise again
when he called the Lord
the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.
God is not the God of the dead
but of the living.
All are alive for him."
