Today's readings deal with our life here and our life hereafter. (1 Mac 6:1-13) and (Lk 20:27-40). In the first reading, a defeated King Antiochus falls into depression and eventually death, looking back at his life and the crimes he has committed as the reason for his "punishment", defeat and death in a foreign land. A terrible way to make one's exit, but as one has lived, so one dies. On the other hand, Jesus answers the question of multiple marriages on earth and what happens to them in the next life. Jesus answered (for the record) that there will be no marriage then. The point is, that we use our time here to "become the best version of ourselves", keep the Law of Love, meditate on it and live it, stay focused on the future while doing our best here, remember that our salvation comes through Jesus, not ourselves, and leave the rest up to God.
