grasping what he meant, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
Reflect:
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.
