For sixty years, he walked the marble aisles of his Chicago parish, a man of shadows cloaked in sacred vestments. He performed the rituals, heard the confessions, and recited the liturgy, yet his faith had grown cold, a hollow echo of what it once was. Then, on December 21, 2025, a near-death experience (NDE) tore through his life. A brutal winter storm, a deadly crash, and suddenly he was no longer bound to the body he had known. In that silence beyond death, he encountered a truth so profound it burned away every doubt, every pretense, and every fear.

Through this NDE, he saw Christianity as it was meant to be: not a set of obligations, but a living flame, a path of radical love and awakening. The world of shadows he had inhabited was gone, replaced by a heart alive with purpose, clarity, and the urgent call to live fully, faithfully, and fearlessly.

Witness his journey from a hollow performance of faith to the radiant truth of God’s message for January 1 and beyond. The revelation he brings is transformative, a light piercing the darkest corners of the soul.

Watch until the end.
