In the circle of life, we have many concerns to look into, as well as many matters to handle.
The busyness of life leaves us not much time to think about the spiritual aspects or about the afterlife.
But the time will come when life is about to come to a complete circle.
When that moment comes, we certainly hope for a peaceful death and in the company of our loved one.
That will truly be a blessing for us as life comes to a complete and beautiful circle.
In the 1st reading, king Hezekiah fell ill and was at the point of death.
The prophet Isaiah told him to put his affairs in order as his life is about to come to a full circle, although it may not a perfect and beautiful circle.
Hezekiah pleaded with the Lord, and the Lord heard his prayer and granted him another 15 years.
Hezekiah is indeed blessed to know that he has another 15 years for his life to come to a full and beautiful circle.
We do not know when the circle of our lives will be completed.
But let us draw a beautiful circle of life and love, and not a vicious circle of anger and resentment.
May we always remember that when the circle of life ends on earth, another circle of life in heaven begins.
