Day 96: The Church’s Ultimate Trial (2026)
The Catechism concludes the section on The Son with an examination of the final trial and judgment that will happen before Christ’s Second Coming. This final trial will involve the "supreme religious deception" of the Antichrist, a deception that has already been present at various times in human history. Fr.

Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 675-682.
