Lenten Retreat Day 12: The Christ of the Apocalypse: Talk 3 & 4

TALK 3: THE FACES OF JESUS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION

John invites us to step into God’s world and to be transformed in the process. For, yes, John’s visions reveal a world, God’s world, but at the same time, they also create a world. For in what John describes through the open door into heaven, not only do we hear the songs of the angels, but we are invited to add our own voices to the growing chorus of divine praises of the God who “makes all things new.”  

TALK 4: JESUS WALKS AMONG THE SEVEN CHURCHES

The angelic Jesus, in essence, is saying: give courageous witness to the truth of the Gospel before a disbelieving world that is hostile to Christ’s message. Do not be afraid to share in the mystery of the Cross, and you will acquire a share in what I Am.
