The transience and beauty of life on earth, the inevitability of death, the judgment of our life by God, hell, purgatory and then Heaven¿ some of these perspectives worry us, others delight us. But they always captivate us: for there is no subject given to men for reflection more fundamental and more burning than the afterlife. The Catholic faith gives clear answers to questions about life after death. But it is not enough to know. We must live, meditate, pray, and ultimately have before our eyes as regularly as possible this inescapable truth, both beautiful and terrible: our life here below lasts only a time, and our eternity depends on how we live it. The author has gathered here beautiful passages from the psalms of the Bible, touching on the final ends, and offers on these same passages the commentaries of the most authoritative writers: Fathers of the Church, theologians, etc. He enriches them with brief presentations.
