At the resurrection, all eyes will open to the divine light.
For the Christian, death is not the end. It is the soul that leaves the body to be welcomed in the Heavens. The Christian, marked by the seal of faith, will leave a chaotic world where life is imperfect and subject to the temptations of the Devil. They will find themselves in a world with a full life, without end.
At the resurrection, all eyes will open to the Divine Light from beyond and enter into the peace of God and live in His presence, attaining eternal happiness.
The deceased, their faith, who leave this world unprepared, have the prayers of the religious. Prayers that will help the soul detach from the material and the temptations, to follow its path toward the Kingdom of Heaven.
These prayers are also for the afflicted by the separation, that the divine grace may come to their aid and that the faith may warm their hearts.
"Human death is the final act of earthly existence, but it is at the same time a moment of passage to eternal life. The Christian views death with the certainty that, in Christ, it is not a void, but a path to perfect union with God."
"Salvifici Doloris" (1984), Pope John Paul II
During the funeral rites, Father Éric offers a solemn blessing, reminding the loved ones that death is not an end, but a passage to a new life.
The day of death is not without tomorrow, but a birth, "Die Natalis," such is the teaching of the Church, an entry into the true life of heaven. Through the offering of prayers and sacraments, the soul of the deceased is accompanied towards the Kingdom of Heaven, while the family and loved ones are comforted by Christian hope.
Father Éric celebrates this passing with respect and dignity, praying that the deceased finds eternal peace and that divine grace touches those who remain. Thus, the funeral rites become not only a farewell but also an opening towards the beyond, where the soul rests in the presence of God for eternity.
Whether for a prayer, a blessing, or a sacrament, schedule an appointment today and let yourself be guided by the light of faith.
