The Christian who dies in Christ Jesus is ‘away from the body and at home with the Lord’ (2 Cor. “The Christian meaning of death is revealed in the light of the Paschal Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Christ in whom resides our only hope. We pray that the deceased will enjoy eternal happiness, eternal life, with God in Heaven, The Church prays for the dead in her liturgies, and she gives us some beautiful prayers for the dead. We should pray for the dead, especially for our own family and friends and those who have no one to pray for them. We all have known people who have died–brothers, sisters, other family members, friends, acquaintances.
