Saturday, November 9:
z:r5-3:5 / Luke zo:27-38
"First World problems" is a phrase that's come into common use. It describes what we in a country of privilege see as challenges that pale in comparison to the serious, life-threatening problems of people in other countries. First World problems include computer crashes that destroy all your documents, a stylist coloring your hair two shades darker than usual, or having to send French fries back because you ordered a salad. Yes, some are particularly challenging, but they aren't on the scale of surviving war or trying to afford basic daily food. The Sadducees in today's Gospel are concerned with "First Life" problems. They're using an earthly issue to challenge Jesus' teaching on resurrection. Jesus doesn't engage in their game-playing; he says earthly concerns like marriage aren't the concerns of the "second Life"-the life of resurrection. He doesn't give details about this life, simply assuring them that God has promised it: "to God, all are alive." Though we might not test Jesus like the Sadducees tried to, we do have questions about resurrected life. What will it be like? Who will be there? How will it compare to life here on earth? We try to imagine life after death with our limited minds, but resurrected life is beyond our ability to comprehend while we're in our First Life. We're called to trust in our covenant relationship with God-a relationship that *'God is notthe God of the dead, but of continues beyond death. Jesus reminds us, the living."
We do know one thing about resurrected [ife: We'll be alive with God. And nothing can be better than that. Janel Esker sundaybulletin@liguori.org

appropriate for t Catholic funeral Mass, which is a celebration of the deceased's eternal life with God rather than a celebration of his or her earthly life. Tbe arder af Christian Funerals allows a family member or friend to speak about the deceased after Communion (170). Often referred to es words of rentem*brance, the idea is for one person to speak for no more than a few minutes about how the deceased person lived his or her faith. A better place for a traditional eulogy and for family and friends to celebrate the life of the deceased person is at the wake or at a postfuneral gathering.
