The Entombment of Christ by Caravaggio 1603-1604
"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." (Revelation 22:12-13)

Read:
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
Psalm 84
John 5:25-29

The Second Coming of Christ; The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell; Purgatory; The New Heavens and the New Earth: The Real Rapture; Resurrection of the Body; Advent; The Catholic Funeral

2) 3MC:

2) CCC 678-679, 988-1014, 1020-1050, 1472, 2548-2550 (YOUCAT 152-165)

Meditate:
How will my life now affect my life for eternity? How can I prepare myself now for a holy death? What is the purpose of death? Why would God who is good allow some to enter into eternal separation from Him? How does purgatory show God's great mercy?

Pray:
Eternal Father, I offer thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits. First, to expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. Second, to purify the good I have done poorly this day and during all my life. Third, to supply for the good I ought to have done and that I have neglected this day and all my life. Amen.

Imitate:
St. Catherine of Siena

Apply:
Am I prepared to die and meet the merciful and just Judge? How can I help others who are dying or facing the death of a loved one?

What are the New Heavens and Earth in the Book of Revelation?

None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. (Romans 14:7-9)

    AUTHOR:
    Caleb Payne

    Caleb began his journey with Christ in 1997. He worked as a Protestant missionary for 8 years in China. It was soon after that he was challenged to consider the Catholic Church. After much prayer and study, he realized he had nothing to protest anymore and was received into full communion with Christ and His Church at the Easter Vigil Mass of 2011. For him the joy and peace that comes with receiving Christ in the Eucharist has turned into an insatiable desire to lead others to this same banquet. Caleb is first a husband, a father of three, and works in the Cortland area as a Registered Nurse. Caleb is a member of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, the Angelic Warfare Confraternity, the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, and is an Evangelist for Saint Paul Street Evangelization. He has Certifications in Thomistic/Catholic Philosophy, Catholic Theology, and Catholic Apologetics through the New Saint Thomas Institute. He is also currently in the Formation for Ministry Program of the Syracuse Diocese.
