One of my favorite movies is The Dead Poet’s Society with Robin Williams. My wife actually bought me the VHS copy back in the 90’s.
The movie’s famous line was from a Latin phrase, carpe diem, or sieze the day. Today, carpe diem has been popularized with concepts like living my best life or living for the moment or hashtag whatever.
What if we could put a new spin on carpe diem?
Fr. Libermann (founder of the Fathers of the Holy Spirit) puts it this way, “...forget the past, live as though the future does not exist, live for Jesus in every moment that you are living...”
If carpe diem is mostly about me, perhaps we can see this particular day as belonging to God and a gift given to each of us.
