This is an automatically translated description

It is difficult to find words that make it easy to talk about death. Although our faith sheds much light on it, the mystery of death remains a mystery to us . Or they talk about illness, about infirmity, about someone living out their last days. Almost no one talks about the act of death itself as a transgression, as a transition, as access. The author wants to try to look at the mystery of death as an access to eternal life, as well as the acceptance of eternal life. In simple language, combining the contemplative vision and experience of a priest and a hospital confessor, the author shows how the Christian faith illuminates the mortal nature of man with the light of truth.

Jean-Miguel Garrigue is a monk and priest, professor of theology at the Brothers of St John in Rimont.
