The Last Things in the Psalms

"I REMEMBERED, O LORD, THY JUDGEMENTS OF OLD, AND I WAS COMFORTED." - PSALM 118:52

“Every verse of the Psalms by itself is enough to raise us to an eminent degree of wisdom, to reform our ideas, and to obtain very great advantages for us. If we meditate attentively on each of the words of which they are composed, we will gather very abundant fruits from them.” - St. John Chrysostom

This valuable book focuses on the profound image of a virtuous death as presented in the Psalms. The death of a just man represents the death we all aspire to achieve. We must learn to die well, and the surest way to do so is to practice daily the art of living well. As Fr. Patrick Troadec observes, “The death of the impenitent sinner incites us to lead a virtuous life and to flee sin, which is the only real evil.” Join in the profound Catholic discipline of keeping death before our eyes so that when our time comes to meet God, we can do so in the peace of a long-anticipated reunion rather than the dread of the Final Judgment. Ours is the kingdom of heaven if only we take the time now to live in the light of its existence. Every Catholic will benefit from this book. Get a copy for yourself and for those looking to incorporate reading the Bible and meditation into their routine.

“In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin.”
