Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an assembly of religious lessons assembled by one Father Lefebvre to help an association he founded learn how to die well. The lessons incorporate an element of performance, as they were meant to be spoken aloud during various meetings of the group. The text focuses on the religious significance of death, seeing it as a liberation from the suffering of the physical world and an entrance into the true world of spirit and everlasting peace. The lessons are broken down into twelve pieces of advice from Death, promoting meditation on death, humility, and hope. First published in 1859, this book offers unique insights into the rituals and practices surrounding death and dying in 19th century France. It may appeal to those interested in religious history, thanatology, or the history of spirituality.
