Death do not be proud Though some have called thee mighty and
dreadful But thou art not so Nor yet canst thou kill ... And
death shall be no more Death thou shalt die
JOHN DANNE POET
Death is in evitable, goes the saying of old. An analytical look
at the creation of man, (women inclusive), makes me come to the
conclusion that dust shall all (no exemption, including myself)
return, a "must" happen someday, one day, whichever.
I asked my lovely friend, the meaning of DEATH. And it said,
"the end of life". I really do not understand. I asked him
again, this time around, what is LIFE? Replying, it said " the
period between birth and death". Not confused and convinced, I

ended? (It's up to you to decide)
And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be
one with the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones
are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars
at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though
they sink through the sea they shall raise again; Though lovers
be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when
sinews give way, Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils
run them through; Spilt all ends up they shan't crack; And death
shall have no dominion.
And death shall no dominion. No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may
flower no more Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Though
they be mad and dead as nails, Heads of the characters hammer
through daisies; Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And
death shall have no dominion.

Thoughts after thoughts came through my mind. Thoughts of the
late John Paul II quotes as regard various sectors of a nation,
which is known in business management as PEST.
Among the quotes are: "irresponsibility, injustice and
inequality will not achieve peace", he continued by saying " the
imperative distinction between church and public powers must not
let one forget that one as well as the other are directed to
man, and the church, expert in humanity cannot give-up inspiring
political activities to direct them to the common good of
society" POLITICS
"however, this progress not infrequently presents serious
problems in relation to respect of human life and the dignity of
the person" SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
"the profit motive, even when legitimate, cannot be the
principal or even the exclusive motive of business or commercial
activity, as such an activity much keep in mind the human
factors and is subordinated to the moral exigencies proper to
all human action" BUSINESS
"truth and solidarity are two of the most efficacious means
available for overcoming hatred, resolving conflict and
eliminating violence" THE MEDIA
That's not all. As history holds, he is the only pontiff that
asked for forgiveness, when he said, "let us forgive and ask for
forgiveness". Still preaching on his forgiveness message, he
said, "our forgiveness should be motivated only by the love of
God and our belief in his unsurpassed mercy". Siting the Holy
Bible, in Ezekiel 36 vs. 24-27, he said, "God's forgiveness can
transform the stony heart of every human being into a natural
heart".
He urges all Christians and non-Christians alike "keeping the
Lord as the stronghold of one's life through personal and
communal prayer assures victor for the believer in the time of
trial"
Catholics around the globe, the late John Paul II have this for
you all " let us feel ourselves more united than ever in
reciting the holy rosary in a particular way for families and
for peace in the world", the virgin, is the first and principal
teacher of Christian prayer... in her school, one learn to
contemplate the face of the Lord, to assimilate his sentiments
and accepts his values with generous consistency.
The late John Paul II changed the Roman Catholic to a truly
global church by embracing justice and peace with his papacy
first comment "be not afraid". The world will remember him for
his remarkable intellect, energy and enormous power for the true
flame of freedom for the past twenty-six years and in time to
come.
I implore all to always pray for the late John Paul II in our
personal prayers.
May the soul of late John Paul II and the souls of all the
faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
