Preparation for Death, or Considerations on the Eternal Maxims: Useful for All as a Book of Meditations, Etc (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Preparations for Death, Or Considerations on the Eternal Maxims is a philosophical and religious work written by Saint Alphonsus Maria De Liguori. Saint De Liguori was a Catholic Bishop of Italian descent who lived during the eighteenth century.
This work represents De Liguori's ruminations on the topic of death. The book is intended to prepare the reader for the death that is imminent for all humans . The author remarks early that no individual can escape death, and that we must thus be prepared for death at all times. The book is divided into considerations, which each examine a specific aspect of dying. These considerations are examined in three parts, each discussing said consideration from a different angle, intended to make the subject matter approachable by those in any stage of life. Every section begins with a quote from scripture and closes with a series of prayers. In all, the author examines thirty-six distinct considerations.
Saint Alphonsus Maria De Liguori's work is the writing of a wise man. His prose is simple and encourages the reader to enter an almost meditative state. While this book may appeal primarily to practicing Catholics, De Liguori efforts to make his work approachable by non-believers as well. Few writers could tackle such a challenging topic and pull it off the way De Liguori has.
Preparations for Death, Or Considerations on the Eternal Maxims is a deeply affecting book on coming to terms with mortality and preparing for the inevitable. It is a reminder of the fleeting nature of existence, and the importance of living a good life. As a tool to improve one's life by preparing for death, Alphonsus Maria De Liguori's book is highly recommended.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Some persons asked me to write a book on tae eternal maxims, for the use of those who desire to estabhsh themselves in virtue and to advance in a spiritual life. Others requested me to prepare a collection of matter for the sermons of the missions and of the spiritual exercises. Not to multiply books, labor, and expense, I resolved to compose the work in its present form, with the hope that it may answer both purposes. To render it useful as a book of meditations for seculars, I have divided the considerations into three points. Each point will serve for one meditation, and therefore I have annexed to each point affections and prayers. I entreat my readers not to grow weary, if in those prayers they shall always find petitions for the graces of perseverance and of divine love.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a profound and moving exploration of death and its implications for living a meaningful life. Drawing upon scripture, the wisdom of the saints, and vivid imagery, the author guides readers through a series of meditations that confront the reality of mortality and challenge worldly attachments. Through poignant reflections on the fleeting nature of earthly possessions, status, and even our physical bodies, the author emphasizes the paramount importance of preparing for our inevitable end. The book delves into the spiritual significance of death, contrasting the stark fate of those who cling to worldly pursuits with the peace and joy found in embracing God's love. Readers are encouraged to actively engage with their own mortality, not as a morbid exercise, but as a catalyst for living with purpose and seeking a lasting relationship with the Divine. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful reminder that our time on earth is precious and that true fulfillment lies in preparing for the eternal life that awaits us beyond death.
