Fr. Mike focuses on the powerful theme that connects all of our readings today- the reality of life beyond death.

Our readings from Wisdom also remind us that death is not the end, because we know that eternal life is waiting for us beyond death. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 7, Wisdom 3-4, and Proverbs 24:27-29.
