What does this mean?

That link wasn’t live!

It’s underlined because it’s a book, not because it’s a link.

 

[qui_est_ce]

That wasn’t a link, just the indication of a book title. You can find the book at almost any Catholic bookstore and even many secular bookstores will carry it (and, of course, it’s available through Amazon). The edition translated from the original French by John Clarke is the best.

Sorry, you beat me.

The public domain translation is also on Project Gutenberg and other sites for free. You can even download and listen to free audiobooks of it at archive.org or Librivox.

So it means that we can communicate to those that have perished?

Ah, so it means that people in hell are ignored by God?
Hense, God is not God of the dead?

Hell is the absence of God, so that seems accurate to me.

We can communicate with those in Christ through prayer. We are united in Christ and death does not change this.

But this is what freaks me out, just praying to people who have died… I’m sure that God told us not to communicate to the dead?
I still question my own prayers over the rosary…

Hell is the absence of God, so that seems accurate to me.

We can communicate with those in Christ through prayer. We are united in Christ and death does not change this.

(The Assumption gives great reassurance to me).
