What happens after death?

Are you uneasy about what happens after death? If you have Jesus in your life, there is no reason to be concerned about the hour when He calls you home.

Christians know that after death there is a loving God who waits for them. This is not wishful thinking.

How can we be so sure?

Jesus did what no other person has done. He died on the cross and three days later He rose from the dead. His resurrection is the basis for our faith.

jesus resurrected

Jesus spoke about death and our having a future life with Him:

"I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die." (John 11:25-26)

In Luke 24:43, Jesus turns to the thief hanging on the cross and promises:

"Amen I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

What happens after our death?

There is a final judgment. If your life has been pleasing to God, then you will experience Christ's promise of eternal happiness with Him.

If your life has not been pleasing to God, remember the words of Jesus:

"What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and suffers the loss of his own soul?"

A wise insurance policy
The Mother of Jesus has promised that anyone who faithfully recites the Rosary will receive at the hour of their death, all the graces necessary for salvation.

The good news — Jesus is always ready to forgive our sins and to help us change our life.

Divine Mercy Chaplet

When The Lord calls you home... pray and ask Jesus, Mary and Joseph to be with you. Silently whisper, "Jesus I trust You."


One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more.
(John Donne)
