The readings during Advent focus on the Second Coming of Christ and the last things. Are we in the End Times? What will happen before Christ's return in glory? Is there such a thing as the Rapture? What about private revelations and prophecies? We will take a detailed look at what the Church teaches and the messages of two Church-approved private revelations (Fátima and St. Faustina).
