WE ARE SALT AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD

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 and
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 praise to
your Father in heaven.' Mass Readings
