That in front of others the light must shine through our works is something that our Lord Jesus Christ tell us. Today's Holy Gospel makes it clear to us that if we want justice in this world, we must begin by being righteous. If those who are called to be good to know the supreme Goodness, are not, what can we ask of those who do not know?

Not only salt is used to make what we eat taste good, but it was also use to preserve meats, and our body uses it in its entirety to perform very simple tasks, such as transmitting nervous information. If we did not have salt in our body, we could not live or exist. The same is true of the Body of Christ, which is us: if it does not contain salt, it perishes.

The reason why many do not want to believe in our Lord is not because of Himself or because of His message, but because we make known of what we know of Him. Would you like your family to be known for what the worst of its members say? Well, let us love in such a way that you can always speak well of our Lord for the salt and the light that is perceived of your works.
