Today, we perceive a mistake in these interlocutors of Jesus, the Sadducees: they imagined eternal life as a mere "endless continuation" of their earthly life. No surprise they denied the Resurrection! But, we do not discover eternal life through the analysis of our own existence; the "I believe in the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting" is the result of believing in the living God.

Eternity is not simply "time without end", but another plane of existence, in which everything converges in the "here and now of love". The new quality of being that is liberated from the fragmentation of existence. It will be the moment to submerge ourselves in oceans of limitless Love, in which time —the before and after— no longer exist: this is Heaven, where "they all live for Him" A life we yearn to live forever!

—O Jesus, I await this time of life in its fullest sense, overwhelmed with joy, according to Your promise: "I will come back to see you and your heart will rejoice, and nobody will take away your joy".
