Just as Jesus raised the little girl to life in today's Gospel reading, he calls each of us to new life at every moment of our lives. From the first reading, the Book of Wisdom: "God did not create death, nor does He delight in the destruction of the living". Even though we experience sin, sickness, and death in this world, God wants us to LIVE, and through His Son He extends to us all an invitation to live eternally.
