The Resurrection gives us a purpose to our living now, because through the Paschal Mystery of Christ, God promises that we will attain to the Resurrection for ourselves.
We can live in hope that all difficulties of this life will give way to the reward of the next, and all the joys are a foretaste of that reward.
That is why we can stand strong in our faith, as did the brothers and their mother in the story from 2 Maccabbees. And we know that we are living a glorious life even now, for, as Jesus asserts, we are children of the living God. So we go forth with this encouraging word, to continue in the faith that gives us hope of Life and Resurrection.
