Let your light shine
Gospel Matthew 5:13-16
[Jesus said] ‘You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Thought for the day
In this gospel Jesus, 'the Light of the World', teaches his disciples, and by extension us who follow him today, that they have the privilege and responsibility of bearing his light and sharing in illuminating the world and society's darkness.
