Memento Mori - Prayers on the Last Things
"As Christians, we remember our death in order to remember our Life-Jesus Christ. We remember our death in order that our lives may be filled with the Life of Christ, both now and when we enter into the joy of eternal life." (Theresa Aletheia Noble, FSP, from the Foreword)
Memento Mori: Prayers on the Last Things is a beautiful prayer book that helps you pray with and meditate on death and the afterlife. Remembrance of the Last Things, beginning with death, opens our hearts to the work God wants to do in us before our last day on earth. Encouraged by Scripture and the saints, this ancient tradition can help you to manage the chaos of this world, grow closer to God, and focus on heaven.
Sr. Theresa Alethia Noble, FSP, has taken the ancient custom of memento mori (remembering one's death) and modernized it for the 21st century. In this prayer book she has brought together the prayers, meditations, and readings that are most likely to help us in living our life and preparing for eternity, through the practice of remembering our death. The prayer book includes prayers for a good death, a Memento Mori Examen, Marian prayers for assistance in life and death, Spiritual Warfare prayers, the power of the Holy Rosary, and Prayers to live for heaven, and more.
Truly helpful are the prayers that have been included to assist those who are dying and a section of Prayers for the Dead. We often don't know what to do-or say-when someone we care about is dying, or even when we think about our own deaths. Our culture has taught us to pretend death doesn't exist, and as a result we're bereft in more ways than one when we have to confront it. But it doesn't have to be that way. Memento Mori: Prayers on the Last Things will give you the words you've been looking for, will comfort you and help you comfort others, and will allow you the time to reflect on our nearness to God in these moments.
Sr. Theresa Alethia Noble, FSP, has written a Memento Mori devotional, created a Memento Mori journal, and now brings us Memento Mori: Prayers on the Last Things.

Holy Souls in Purgatory Rosary
This striking rosary has been designed to encourage prayer for the souls in Purgatory, inspired by a mystical vision of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich in which she saw suffering souls move from dark to light as she prayed fervently for them. Signifying the purification of the souls of the faithful departed, who are very dear to God, the colors of the rosary beads lighten from black to grey to white. The crucifix is very unique: it depicts Jesus on the cross with the Blessed Mother at His side, holding up a chalice to receive His precious blood. The centerpiece has an image of Our Lady on one side and the Divine Mercy on the other. This rosary is a beautiful reminder to pray for the Holy Souls, a great work of mercy encouraged by the Catholic Church. The month of November is especially given to prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and their feast is November 2nd.
An exclusive Catholic Company design.
