Gospel LK 20:27-40

Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying,
“Teacher, Moses wrote for us,
If someone’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child,
his brother must take the wife
and raise up descendants for his brother.
Now there were seven brothers;
the first married a woman but died childless.
Then the second and the third married her,
and likewise all the seven died childless.
Finally the woman also died.
Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be?
For all seven had been married to her.”
Jesus said to them,
“The children of this age marry and remarry;
but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age
and to the resurrection of the dead
neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They can no longer die,
for they are like angels;
and they are the children of God
because they are the ones who will rise.
That the dead will rise
even Moses made known in the passage about the bush,
when he called ‘Lord’
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
and he is not God of the dead, but of the living,
for to him all are alive.”
Some of the scribes said in reply,
“Teacher, you have answered well.”
And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

The word of the Lord.

Today you can go to marriage seminars on finances, in-laws,
sexual happiness, and every other kind of thing in order to make a
marriage successful. You can look in women's magazines and books, but
there is one kind of marriage that God will truly bless. It has the power of
God on it, and that is a marriage that is made in heaven. You say, "Aren't
all marriages made in heaven?" No, I don't think so. But those that are
made in heaven have certain blessings upon them and are made up of
certain ingredients.

Since most of you reading this are married at this present time or have been married ...
you might finish this meditation yourself:
