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.
