168. Our Resurrection from Death and Entry into Eternal Life

IN accordance with my promise [§72], I will now relate the steps by which we move from bodily life into eternal life, in order to show how a person is revived. The explanation is based not on hearsay but on my own personal experience.

71. However, the account of our resurrection would end up scattered and disconnected if it were mixed in with explanations of scriptural texts. So by the Lord's divine mercy I will add it in a more orderly fashion at the beginning and end of each chapter in addition to making remarks along the way.

72. Allow me, then, to offer at the end of this chapter an account of our revival from the dead and entry into eternal life [§§168-181].
