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.

Easter: So, it is the Triduum…we have done well(ish) with Lent, but how to we celebrate Easter? Tune in and hear Fr. Rampino explain how the Gospel of St. John explains Easter. How we should live it out! Christ desires to bring us to the Father and save us. St. John witnessed the Passion of Christ closely and John shows Christ that he is in control, but is a willing sacrifice. Jesus acts our of divine peace and he desires to bring us into that divine peace. To celebrate properly, we have a different kind of hope. That hope allows us to be more merciful and forgiving. Maybe even add some ice cream to make the Easter season all the more celebratory! Happy Easter!

Fr. Conrad reflects on his inspiration for the podcast while home for Thanksgiving. He read through biographies of the United States Presidents in order. Then he thought he could maybe do a project like that for the Popes. After six years, the Habemus Papam podcast ends. Through this research, Fr. Conrad explains in the finale now more greatly appreciates the work of the Holy Spirit to keep the Church afloat. We fallen, broken, and sinful humans are entrusted by God with the great gift that is the Church. Good men were popes and bad men were popes. But we have the confidence in Christ that the Church is our means to salvation.
