The Christ of the Apocalypse
Msgr. A. Robert Nusca
TALK 1: THE APOCALYPSE OF JOHN
This reflection emphasizes the message of hope in Revelation. John, exiled to Patmos for his faith, receives visions that unveil divine truths, urging Christians to worship God alone and stand firm against adversity. The Book of Revelation reassures believers that God controls the world's destiny, promising triumph over evil and a renewed creation through Christ.
TALK 2: THE FACES OF JESUS IN THE GOSPELS

Throughout, John shows us how Jesus remains present to the faithful on earth through the mystery of the Church, how He rules in heaven, and how He will return in glory and judgment at the end of time.
