Grija pentru cei morți în cultul și spiritualitatea ortodoxă
The care for the dead in the orthodox cult and spirituality

Summary/Abstract: Jesus Christ's love makes fundamental a connection between the alive and those fallen asleep, that death cannot unbide. The intense connection of love joins together all the members of Christ's Church, those belonging to the struggling Church to those belonging to the heavenly Church as well as to the inhabitants of hell, who did not lose hope for the heavenly Kingdom. By virtue of this communion, the alive perform some obligations for those fallen asleep: to pray for them and to make deeds of charity, because if we do not love the dead, we do not love the Lord Who loves those that have taken rest, as living members of His Church. The alive have a duty to pray for those fallen asleep, because our prayers are for the good of the departed.
