Fr. Mike Schmitz explores what Catholics traditionally call the “last things”: death, judgment, hell, heaven, the resurrection of the body, and purgatory.

Death is real and our choices matter, but Jesus has conquered death and opened the way to eternal life with God. Fr. Mike explains why heaven is far more than clouds and harps, why God never forces anyone to choose Him, and how the joys, sufferings, failures, and ordinary frustrations of this life can already be preparing our hearts to see God face to face.
