Continuing his discussion on the Mass, Fr. Chris explains the whole basis of our faith using St. Thomas Aquinas’ concept of Exitus Reditus. He explains what will happen during our judgment and why Jesus died on the Cross.

He introduces the “message” of Divine Mercy and explains how it is necessary to get to Heaven as well as the true mistake Adam and Eve made in the Garden.
