You are the light of the world
First Reading 2 Corinthians 1:18-22 God himself has anointed us and given us his Spirit
I swear by God’s truth, there is no Yes and No about what we say to you. The Son of God, the Christ Jesus that we proclaimed among you – I mean Silvanus and Timothy and I – was never Yes and No: with him it was always Yes, and however many the promises God made, the Yes to them all is in him. That is why it is ‘through him’ that we answer Amen to the praise of God. Remember it is God himself who assures us all, and you, of our standing in Christ, and has anointed us, marking us with his seal and giving us the pledge, the Spirit, that we carry in our hearts.
Gospel Matthew 5:13-16 Your light must shine in the sight of men
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled underfoot by men.

‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in the sight of men, so that, seeing your good works, they may give the praise to your Father in heaven.’
My loving Father, my God Let your face
shine on your servant and teach me your decrees. Father with Christ it is
always Yes. God’s many promises are fulfilled in Christ, the Yes. We answer
Amen through Christ to you. Father it is you who assures us of our standing in Christ. You
anointed us, and marked us with your seal through Jesus Christ. The unfolding
of your word gives light and teaches the simple. For this we must be like
Christ for his spirit dwells in us. Turn and show us your mercy, show us
your justice. We are the salt of the earth.
We are the light of the world. Teach us your commands.
May our steps be guided by your promise. Let our light shine in the sight of men by
our good deeds that all the glory be to your most Holy Name.
