What really happens when Jesus returns? Will the Earth be destroyed, or will God transform it into something far greater? In this powerful homily, Fr. Chris Alar explores the Catholic teaching on the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the body, and the arrival of the New Jerusalem described in the Book of Revelation.

Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he explains Catholic teaching concerning death and judgment and our transition from this world to our next life — a life throughout eternity.

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:26–27 — Jesus, from the Cross, entrusting His Mother to the beloved disciple and the disciple to His Mother, revealing that even in His darkest hour He is creating a new family of faith, giving us Mary as a spiritual Mother who draws us close to her Son, teaches us to stand with love at the foot of the Cross, and reminds us that we are never abandoned in suffering, but received into the heart of Christ.
