The Pontifical Mass was an opportunity to pray with this Christian community, reminding them of their responsibility to show love to one another . Participants were encouraged to share with others in love, and Bishop Michael Bibi noted that judgment will be based on the love Christians had for one another. He reminded Christians of the Four last things, which are death, judgment, heaven, and earth. He explained that the “believe in Everlasting life” as recited in the creeds connotes that after death, there is a particular judgment and that faithful have the possibility to enter heaven, purgatory or hell.
