Beyond the Grave

In the Little Flowers, a book about the life and followers of the Franciscan Order, we do not really read that much about the life after the grave, whether it is Heaven or Hell.  The Little Flowers does tell us that the way we get into Heaven is by our good works.  However, later in the book, we find that we can only go to Heaven through the Son, Jesus Christ.  But the question is now: “How is life beyond the grave?”.
