The Dream of Gerontius Part I: Death and Prayers for the Dead

Death is not the end; it is a passage into the next part of the journey, which also must be accompanied by prayer. It’s a reminder to us that prayer is conversation with God and it continues throughout our whole life and into the next. As we think of our family and friends who have passed through the veil of death, we accompany them by praying. It’s our way of life, our first instinct and our last breath. It’s what marks us as Christians.
