Commentary of the Gospell
Carpe Diem!
Blessed Carlo Acutis, the computer whiz kid who became the Blessed among the millennial generation, commented thus: “We are born originals, but many live as photocopies.” How true! If only the youth made “Carpe Diem!” (=seize the day) their motto and sought to realize the dream destiny for which they had been created, uniquely and lovingly, by God! This is what the Ecclesiastes advices the youth: realize your dreams, but being mindful of God and your duty to give an account of your life. It won’t be the years of one’s life that matters, but the quality of the life lived. Such quality can be achieved only when one boldly engages life, asks exploring questions not only to the people around but to God as well, unlike the timid disciples of today’s gospel who were afraid to ask Jesus the meaning of his words. Had they dared to ask, they would have received answers enlightening their path.
