The longest Poem written by John Henry Newman, consisting of the prayer transit of a dying man, and what happens next.
Written in 1865, after Newman's conversion from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism, the poem expresses in poetical form many truths of Catholic dogma: Judgement, Purgatory, Paradise, the guarding Angel (who accompanies him), and the praying for the deceased.
