In Heaven We Know Our Own - Fr. Blot, S.J. (1863)
Fr. Blot’s 19th century classic, In Heaven We Know Our Own, went through at least 2 English US editions in the 1860’s by the Benziger Brothers, as far as we know.
The book is a series of letters written to a young Catholic mother whose child had just recently died. Fr Blot, sick himself at the time of his writing her, seeks to console the poor woman in her heartbroken grief. Because of whom he was writing for, Fr Blot focused on the accidental or secondary beatitude or happiness of heaven. He explained to her (and to us) how the family will be united again and how Our Lord may sometimes let sorrow come upon us for unknown reasons. This book is a truly comforting and uplifting work. What exactly is “secondary beatitude?” It is, as Fr Blot explains, all the “extra” joys of heaven. Families are reunited, good friends see each other, and all earthly sacrifice or suffering is amply rewarded. Drawing from our rich Catholic heritage and tradition, Fr Blot quotes Scripture, St Thomas, St Robert Bellarmine, Dante and tells us what heaven will be like. What an amazing book on eternal happiness! Product # 89030
