The Souls of the Dead Live On
PRAYER.

Blessed Jesus, through the merits of Your Passion and Death, allow me to be a sharer of Your glory in the life to come.

CHRIST says: "Many are called, few are chosen"; "Broad is the way that leads to Destruction, and many there be who go in that path"; whereas "Narrow is the way that leads to life" (Mt 7:13-14).

It is difficult to realize that all who ever lived still live; it is as difficult to believe that they are in a state of eternal rest or of eternal woe.
