Arcidiocesi di Rossano Cariati and Don Luigi Maria Epicoco Release New Gospel Commentaries

The Archdiocese of Rossano Cariati published a reflection on the Gospel of Matthew 25:1‑13, interpreting the parable of the ten virgins as a call to spiritual vigilance. The commentary stresses that the “oil of charity” represents personal faith and prayer, warning that those who are unprepared will be excluded at the coming of the Bridegroom.

Don Luigi Maria Epicoco offered a commentary on Matthew 16:24‑28, emphasizing Jesus’ invitation to “deny oneself, take up one’s cross and follow me.” He explains that true discipleship involves freeing oneself from selfishness, accepting responsibility, and confronting life’s challenges without victimhood.

Both pieces aim to guide the faithful in daily Christian practice, urging continual readiness and personal commitment to the teachings of Christ.
