The Same Destiny for All

Pope John Paul II passed away on Saturday at the age of 84.

Under the shadow of the Pope’s demise, Terri Schiavo was cremated on the same day.

"So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no man knows whether love or hate awaits him. All share a common destiny-the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.

As it is with the good man,
so with the sinner;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.

This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all."

Ecclesiastes 9:1-3
