What
will resurrection be like for you? Jesus
is not specific in the Gospel, but he does state that life will be different. The limitations of this life will be
transformed; the social conventions and relationships we know here are changed
after death. Nonetheless, our faith
tells us that those who practice mercy will be greatly rewarded. We who feed the hungry, give drink to the
thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, visit the
imprisoned, and bury the dead will know the new life of resurrection. To those who convert sinners, instruct the
ignorant, advise the doubtful, comfort the sorrowful, bear wrongs patiently,
forgive injuries, and pray for the living and the dead, theirs is the kingdom
of God. Mercy will bring us home to the
Lord. |
