Sunday, February 09, 2020 — Fith Sunday of Ordinary time — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5, 13-16 — "I am the light of the world, said the Lord, whoever follows me will have the light of life"
The word of Jesus is clear: we are the salt of the Earth, not individually but together," you" he said. We are the salt not only in the church but in every at all levels of the human community. Even in small quantities, salt can enhance the taste and for this, it must be dissolved.
We are also the light of the world, Jesus always says. Unlike salt, the more lights there are, the brighter the surroundings become. But just like salt, light has to let itself be consumed to spread its clarity.
