In this timeless spiritual classic, St. Robert Bellarmine teaches the art of dying well by learning to live rightly before God. Viewing death through the lens of eternity, he presents sixteen practical measures that free the soul from fear and order life toward its true end. With pastoral clarity, he addresses detachment from the world, the discipline of fasting, purity of intention, and the urgency of preparation at every stage of life. Rooted in wisdom and realism, these reflections invite readers to embrace death not as a terror, but as a passage to joy for those who have learned to seek first the things of God.
