Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress and Fr. Bonaventure Chapman discuss approaching death with Christian hope and trust in the resurrection, encouraging spiritual preparedness through prayer, confession, and the Last Rites. They highlight the dignity of suffering when united to Christ, the role of pastoral care, accompaniment, and presence for the dying and bereaved, and the need for end-of-life preparation, from grief and consolation to practical concerns like wills. Ultimately, they show how the meaning of suffering and faith reshape fear into peace.
