The Highest hierarchy in the Catholic world has a vacancy to be filled as the Incumbent just wasted some days ago. His remains is being laid to rest today at the antique Roman city admidst color and grandour!
Being born as Karol Jozef Wojtyla on May 18, 1920 at Wadowice, Poland; Made his name over the years; must have lived a fulfilled life but,...He died April 2, 2005 at the great Vatican City after a lot of drama between science tricking nature and nature taking its course. These are the kind of people that could be given a new body to live on if it was legal (more information about him can be found at http://catholicism.about.com/od/popes/p/popejohnpa05.htm).
Watching this grand burial of the century where lots of dignitaries all round the world, my mind could not help swirmming. How the death of a man could trigger off such a consortium of the world's great members. Crying over this would be likened to being just weary-teary as this calls for celebration more than desiccation.
The grandness, the millions of dollars, the fancy, the costumes, the blings; it looked more like a carnival than a funeral. The Late Pope must be very deligthed if at all he is seeing all this people travel far and wide just to give his wasted body to termites and ants to feast on. "God must be happy too!" Another thoughts triggered. Many great men waste every now and then are are laid to rest in fancy that might even surpass the Vaticans but, whatz the use of such a life if it has not won God's peace is not really resting in peace? You figure that out. Should we be living to die or dying to live? Doesn't all the problems of life stem from this?
I would love to be laid to rest in style in fancy with blings - not that it really matters. What matters is what kind of people have you affected thier lives so much that they wouldn't dream of missing your funeral no matter the distance, religion, cost or color. I rest ma case.
