32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

First Reading: Maccabees 7: 1-2.9.14
A terrible story of torture and cruelty ends with a forceful statement of trust in God’s gift of life after death.

Second Reading: 2 Thessalonians 2: 16-3:5
St Paul asks God to comfort and strengthen his hearers; he asks for the help of their prayers.

Gospel: Luke 20: 27-38
Jesus got a typical question from someone who didn’t believe in life after death. His answer underlined his certainty that God our Father brings us beyond death to new life.
