A Prayer for Thursday, November 17, 2011

“In the Resurrection”

Teach us, O God, to ask important and meaningful questions about important and meaningful subjects.

Teach us, O God, not to ask tangential questions about matters that go to the heart of the meaning of our lives under you.

Teach us, O God, not to focus on the trivial and fleeting at the cost of focusing on the essential and eternal.

Teach us, O God, to ask important and meaningful questions about important and meaningful subjects.

Amen.

“The same day some Sadducees came to him, saying there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying, ‘Teacher, Moses said, “If a man dies childless, his brother shall marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother.” Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married, and died childless, leaving the widow to his brother. The second did the same, so also the third, down to the seventh. Last of all, the woman herself died. In the resurrection, then, whose wife of the seven will she be? For all of them had married her.’” (Matthew 22:23-28)
