Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the earliest centuries, Christians understood death not as a mere end, but as the decisive moment of spiritual life. The expression 'good death' does not mean a death without physical pain, but to die reconciled with God, free from mortal sin, with faith, hope, and charity alive in the soul. The intercession of Saint Joseph has been sought since the earliest centuries, and he has been invoked as the patron of a good death because, according to tradition, he died accompanied by Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The spiritual reason is profound: Saint Joseph was the guardian of Jesus during His earthly life; he protected His childhood, upheld His home, and lived in daily intimacy with the Son of God. Christian tradition concludes that he who was the guardian of Christ on earth can also be the guardian of souls at the moment of passing. Prayers for a Good Death with Saint Joseph is grounded in this ancient devotion, strengthened from the earliest centuries of Christianity and intensified between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, when confraternities and pious practices dedicated to preparing for death flourished. In that spirit, the book invites us to recover a simple and profound habit: to invoke Saint Joseph daily so that 'we may not be lacking his assistance at the hour of death,' learning to live today with our ultimate end in our hearts. With prayers inspired by the life of Saint Joseph, popular devotion, and the Bible, together with traditional images and a novena in preparation for a good death, this devotional offers words to ask for the grace of the final sacraments, strength against the last temptations, and inner peace. It is a book for those who wish to entrust their own passing-and that of their loved ones-to the mercy of God, with the serene confidence of one who places himself under the protection of the holy patron of a good death. …
