In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast, Fr. Rob discusses a way to meditate on the Book of Revelation. Some people read Revelation and try to map world history or current events onto what they read. Fr. Rob proposes another meditation of the book. He suggests that we read Revelation as a foretaste of the Heavenly Liturgy that the Saints and angels participate in. Further, in the book, the Risen Christ is aware of the events in his Church. So, we can take courage and peace knowing that Christ knows and is in control of what is happening now. Lastly, yes, the Book of Revelation contains information about the End Times. Fr. Rob proposes that we focus less so on what is happening around us that may signal the End Times. Rather, he suggests we reflect on the mystery that the world will end and all will be fulfilled in Christ with his glory.

Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob discussed how Easter is more than just another day. Easter is the culmination of our faith. We should live “Easter” all the days of our lives. We do this through acts of mercy and charity. By living in this way, Easter is more significant than the 4th of July or Thanksgiving. Easter is what provides our joy and hope for eternal life. Listen to this episode with Fr. Rob to learn more about Easter and how it can take root in daily life.
