Word of Life from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops
“Those who die in God’s grace and
friendship live forever with Christ. Heaven
is not an abstract idea, but a true and
lasting relationship with God that is
beyond all earthly description and
understanding. We look forward to the
resurrection of the dead and everlasting life
by preparing now, in hope, for our passage
from this life into eternal life.”
