Sunday Meditation: The Salt of the Earth

It’s a simple Gospel this Sunday.  Jesus just gives us three images, salt, a city on a hill, and light.

 

Jesus said to his disciples:

"You are the salt of the earth.

But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?

It is no longer good for anything

but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

You are the light of the world.

A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.

Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;

it is set on a lampstand,

where it gives light to all in the house.

Just so, your light must shine before others,

that they may see your good deeds

and glorify your heavenly Father."

~Mt 5:13-16

 

Simple and you so profound.  Let Dr. Brant Pitre explain it  in two videos.

 

 

These images have been used in a number of hymns.  Let’s give you one.

 

Go forth and be the light of the world!
