Listen. I haven’t tried to die, so I can’t explain what I don’t know. But this is what I’m trying to say: there is a struggle in that moment of death. All hope is almost lost. And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are now about to see face to face, whose judgment will be passed on you. So you are trying to grip on this, where you belong. And then you start searching for God. You are ready for Him. You want to receive him. You want to be with Him because that’s your inner yearning, the only thing that will fulfill you.

When we talk of the Church, we speak of the Body of Christ. Christ is the Head, and we are the Body. The Church gives you a perfect…

The Sign of the Cross
John 19:17-18, “So they took Jesus, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified Him.” The church always begins its prayer with a sign of the cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Some people do like this. That’s not the sign of the cross. We see Jesus…

Love for the Dead
This is how Catholics show their love for the dead. Some argue, why do we pray for the dead? But Maccabees have given us the insight. The Bible says. “For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen will rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore…
