What happens when we die? What awaits us at the end of life — and at the end of time? In The Four Last Things, Fr. Wade L.J. Menezes, CPM offers a clear, sobering, and hope-filled guide to the ultimate realities every soul will face: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell.
With clarity and fidelity to Catholic teaching, Fr. Menezes presents these profound truths not as morbid subjects, but as essential realities meant to awaken us to God’s mercy and love. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints, he helps readers prepare spiritually for eternity by living with greater faith, virtue, and purpose right now.
You’ll learn:
- What Scripture and Church tradition teach about the moment of death and personal judgment
- How to cultivate a healthy “eternal perspective” that brings peace and purpose to daily life
- What Heaven is really like — and how to begin living its joy on earth
- Why Hell is a real possibility — and how God’s mercy calls us to repentance before it’s too late
- How to live in hope, trusting in Christ’s promise of eternal life
The Four Last Things is both a spiritual wake-up call and a source of deep encouragement. Perfect for personal reading, parish study groups, or anyone seeking to grow in holiness through a deeper understanding of life’s ultimate destiny.
“We’re not made for this world, but for the next. Let’s live like it.” — Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM
