This is a book of perceptive thought, moving reflections and healing, comforting prayers. Blending his own personal and pastoral experience with the best insights contemporary theology offers, Fr. Maloney conveys a renewing hope and courage to the reader. This work fills the reader with an awesome awareness of the unity and beauty of life that cannot be broken or marred by the mystery of death. For the believer, life is changed not ended. The triumph of love over death is demonstrated by our ability to remain in true spiritual communion with all our loved ones who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. This ongoing union is marvelously captured in Fr. Maloney's "prayer to a deceased loved one" that will console many and uplift all who have ever grieved. This book reveals eternal truths about the life to come in such a way that we will live our present life wisely and peacefully.
