FAMILY GOSPEL REFLECTIONNOVEMBER 10, 2019

32nd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

OPENING PRAYER

Dear Jesus,

Please help us to be enlightened about what happens when people die and eternal life in heaven.

In your name we pray.

Amen.

GOSPEL LEARNING

The Gospel reading today comes from St. Luke. Some Sadducees tested Jesus with a question about what happens after a person dies; their question had to do with marriage. Jesus’ answer suggests that life after death will be different from our life on earth. Just like the Sadducees, we sometimes miss the most important things about what God has planned for us because we get stuck in the details of human existence.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 20: 27-38

“The Question about the Resurrection”

Source: New Testament Pinoy Version Catholic Edition

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

27 May mga Sadducees na pumunta kay Jesus, sila yung mga Jews na hindi naniniwalang mabubuhay ulit ang mga namamatay. 28 Tanong nila, “Teacher, sabi ni Moses, pag namatay ang isang lalaki at wala silang anak ng asawa nya, dapat pakasalan ng kapatid na lalaki ang byuda para magkaroon ng mga anak. Ipapangalang dapat sa asawang namatay ang magiging anak nila. 29 May pitong magkakapatid na lalaki. Nag-asawa ang panganay at namatay din ito nang walang anak. 30 Pinakasalan ng pangalawa ang byuda, pero namatay din ito nang walang anak.

31 Gayun din ang nangyari sa pangatlo hanggang sa bunso. Namatay silang lahat nang walang anak. 32 Sa huli, namatay ang babae. 33 Ngayon, sa araw na muling bubuhayin ang mga patay, sino sa pito ang magiging asawa ng babae kung pinakasalan sya ng lahat?”

34 Sumagot si Jesus, “Nag-aasawa ang lalaki at babae sa mundong ito. 35 Pero yung mga lalaki at babaeng karapat-dapat muling buhayin at makasama sa mundong darating ay hindi na mag-aasawa. 36 Hindi na din sila mamamatay kasi gaya na sila ng mga angels. Mga anak sila ng Diyos kasi binuhay ulit sila.

37 Pati si Moses, nagpapatunay na muling binuhay ang mga namatay. Sa kwento tungkol sa burning bush, tinawag nya ang Panginoon na ‘Diyos ni Abraham, Diyos ni Isaac, at Diyos ni Jacob.’ 38 Ang Diyos ay hindi Diyos ng mga patay, kundi ng mga buháy. Nabubuhay ang lahat sa kanya.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

LIVING THE GOSPEL

1. SITUATION

Take this opportunity to talk about your thoughts, questions, beliefs, maybe even fears, about death and dying.

LIVING THE GOSPEL

2. GOSPEL THEME

As Christians, our hope is grounded in our belief in the resurrection of the dead. This is good news because we know that we will continue to share a relationship with God even after our death.

LIVING THE GOSPEL

3. GOSPEL CHALLENGE

This month of November, pray for family members, relatives, and friends who have died.

TRIVIA: SADDUCEES

The Sadducees like the Pharisees are a group of people who are knowledgeable with the Scripture.

However, the Sadducees believe only in the first five books of the Bible or the Torah. They deny the reality of the resurrection of the dead, the existence of spirits and the power of the oral tradition.Source: Halo Sambuhay for Kids

CLOSING PRAYER

Dear Jesus,

We believe that you have risen from the dead and that you are truly alive! Help us to always remember that although we are in this earth, we are destined to be with you in heaven.

In your name we pray.

Amen.

Our Father, Hail, Mary, Glory Be...
