For Those Who Mourn Prayer Card is made of paper (this is NOT laminated) and is sold in a pack of 50 cards per pack.
An image of a loving Jesus and his sheep, this card reminds us that death is not the end and our dearly departed are always with us.
The great and sad mistake of many people, among them
even pious persons, is to imagine that those whom death
had taken leave us. They do not leave us. They remain!
Where are they? In the darkness? Oh, No! It is we who are
in the darkness. We do not see them, buy they see us. Their
eyes, radiant with glory, are fixed upon our eyes full of
tears. Oh, infinite consolation! Though invisible to us,
our dear dead are not absent.
I have often reflected upon the sunset conform for those who
mourn. It is this; a firm faith in the real and continual
presence of our loved ones; it is the clear and penetrating
conviction that death has not destroyed them, nor carried
them away. They are not even absent, but living near to us,
transfigured: having lost in their glorious change no
delicacy of their souls, no tenderness of their hearts, nor
especial preference in their affection; on the contrary,
having and fervor of devotion, grow a larger a
hundredfold. Death, is for the good, a translation into
the light, into the power, into love. Those who on earth
were only ordinary Christian, become perfect; those
who were beautiful become good; those who were good
become sublime.
