PREPRATION FOR DEATH by ST. ALPHONSUS LIGUORI - REPRINT

This book is a classic Catholic devotional intended to prepare readers for their final moments by meditating on the "Four Last Things": Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell.

In his aim of the work statement, St. Alphonsus Liguori stated that “SOME persons asked me to write a book on the Eternal Maxims, for the use of those who desire to establish 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 the present form, with the hope that it might 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 always find petitions for the grace of perseverance and of divine love. For us, these are the two graces most necessary for the attainment of eternal salvation.”

This edition is a reprint of one of the significant works of St. Alphonsus Liguori.  The aim of this edition is to make this important book accessible through its affordability.
