It is essential to the Christian vocation that we always be mindful of our end. Whereas the world persists in denial of death, in flight from God and the judgment that follows, the Christian looks forward to both his death and the resurrection of all the dead. A lively interest in death and the life to come is necessary to the maintenance of our identity as Christians.\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\"Nothing is more certain than death,\" declares St. Anselm, \"nothing more uncertain than its hour.\"\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003eFaced with the inevitability of death, we all share that deep and persisting need to know what comes after. While others recoil from the prospect of death, preferring the false comforts of denial and flight, we who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ remain serene in the knowledge and practice of hope, which alone enables us to face the end with joy and gratitude.\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003eProfessor Martin identifies the \u003cem\u003eLast Things\u003c\u002fem\u003e each of us is destined to face - namely, Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell - reviewing them in the context of Christian hope, which is \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\u002fem\u003e virtue most necessary to the happy outcome of our journey home to God.\u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLectures\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroducing the Study of the Last Things \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis lecture proposes prayer, especially the \u003cem\u003eOur Father\u003c\u002fem\u003e which voices Christian hope, as necessary to understanding the end of life and what comes after.\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003c\u002ful\u003e \u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Christian Conception of Time and Its Relation to the Last Things \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding time and our journey home to God allows us to avoid unreal fixations and to grasp the key to a life of sanctity.\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003c\u002ful\u003e \u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli\u003eExploring the Nature and Dynamism of Hope \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis lecture discusses both natural and supernatural hope, distinguishing it from ordinary desire, and shows that the outcome of our hope depends on the grace of God.\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003c\u002ful\u003e \u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn First Opening the Door of Death \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeath is recognized and contemplated by man alone among all living things.

How will we face the end? On whom does our hope finally depend? In short, what are the last things ever to be remembered? These are the questions examined in this course, whose lectures abound with insight and imagery drawn from the rich patrimony of the Church's wisdom and experience.
What can we know from the lives of saints and sages - sinners, too - that will illumine the mysteries surrounding our lives?
In this course, Dr. Regis Martin presents a comprehensive overview of the finalities that frame our human story and how our action (or inaction) when faced with the end will determine where we spend eternity. It is essential to the Christian vocation that we always be mindful of our end. Whereas the world persists in denial of death, in flight from God and the judgment that follows, the Christian looks forward to both his death and the resurrection of all the dead. A lively interest in death and the life to come is necessary to the maintenance of our identity as Christians.
"Nothing is more certain than death," declares St. Anselm, "nothing more uncertain than its hour."
Faced with the inevitability of death, we all share that deep and persisting need to know what comes after. While others recoil from the prospect of death, preferring the false comforts of denial and flight, we who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ remain serene in the knowledge and practice of hope, which alone enables us to face the end with joy and gratitude.
Professor Martin identifies the Last Things each of us is destined to face - namely, Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell - reviewing them in the context of Christian hope, which is the virtue most necessary to the happy outcome of our journey home to God.
Lectures
Introducing the Study of the Last Things
This lecture proposes prayer, especially the Our Father which voices Christian hope, as necessary to understanding the end of life and what comes after.
The Christian Conception of Time and Its Relation to the Last Things
Understanding time and our journey home to God allows us to avoid unreal fixations and to grasp the key to a life of sanctity.
Exploring the Nature and Dynamism of Hope
This lecture discusses both natural and supernatural hope, distinguishing it from ordinary desire, and shows that the outcome of our hope depends on the grace of God.
On First Opening the Door of Death
Death is recognized and contemplated by man alone among all living things. The prospect of death fills him with dread, yet man persists, perhaps unreasonably, in hope.
On Seeing Death as a Christian and the Consolation It Brings
The lecture reveals the Christian view of death which relieves our fear and helps us live well, always preparing for the end.
The Jig Is Up: On Judgment and the World to Come
Simply put, Christian existence is relationship with Christ. According to Hans Urs von Balthasar, “Gained, he is heaven; lost, he is hell; examining, he is judgment; purifying, he is purgatory”.
On Going to Hell
The nature of Hell can only be understood in relation to God, from whom the damned have willingly separated themselves forever.
On the Reality and Nature of Heaven
Only the merest glints of future glory may be glimpsed amid the shadow world we inhabit. Nevertheless, we all desire the unending joys of Heaven.
