SALT AND LIGHT

Tuesday within the Tenth week in Ordinary Time Year C Matthew 5:13-16 We are called to be salt of the earth and light of the world. To be salt means to give flavor to the world and zest to our community. We christians should not be the cause and reason why the world is spoiling. To be tasteless is to be next to useless. We are invited to be salt because of the following reasons. First, salt is an effective PRESERVATIVES. To avoid the food from spoiling and corruption salt is the perfect remedy. Our world is becoming tasteless that is why as followers of Jesus we are challenge to preserve the gospel values. Our mission is to preserve the virtues and teaching of the Lord. Second, salt is a potent channel for MEDICATION. It is an effective antispetic. To stop the bacteria from spreading just put salt in it. Friends, as christian we are commissioned to be stoppers of bacteria. Let us heal our world from the cintamination of sickness and infection of sin. Finally, salt is use as powerful SEASONING. Friends, wrong seasonings destroys the food. Perfect and best salt cannot be provided by entertainments and by some commercial districts. Hedonistic attachments to alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography, toxic relationships and bad habits are salty seasonings. These does not guarantee a meaningful life. Our life will be turned salty if Jesus is not the right seasoning. Our life will be bland and tasteless if Jesus is not our right flavour. Blessings Fr. Jhack
