by Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli. “If there is one topic which ought to interest us the most, and on the concrete level more than all others, it ought to be the ‘Last Things,’ which are the conclusion of our earthly life (Death) and the beginning of our eternity, be it an unhappy one or a happy one (Hell or Heaven).... This book is meant to be a little aid for salutary meditation on the supreme truths of the Faith which will help us to bring our earthly life to a holy conclusion. We will bear in mind the most saving and fundamental maxim, which is this one: ‘Remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin’ (Ecclus. 7:40).”
