Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time – 

Our life is a gift from God. Our life is a mission for God. Our life is a companionship with God. When we understand this, it is plain to see why Jesus believed in life after death. It was not simply a logical conclusion that he had carefully thought out. It was a natural outgrowth of what he believed about life. “God is not the God of the dead but of the living. All are alive for him.”
