In this Gospel passage, Jesu reminds his followers about their duty to inspire others and lead them to the right path of living.After reminding them abut the the virtues of poverty,humility, purity, of establishing peace and accepting suffering. he asks them to rise above the common standard of wordily perceptions and to be come sources of inspiration and strengthening like salt and lights.They both make better what they come into contact with.Salt leavens food and gives it taste.Light helps one to find the way.We are asked to be lights and the salt to people we come into contact with our lives.
We cannot be satisfied with being just being on-llokers.We have to be part of the process of change and transformation.We have a duty to make the lives of others better and richer.
It is not by our power and resources that we are going to make their transformation.It is through the grace of the Lord that is present in our lives that we can can become lights to the world.Our good deed are the result of our faith in the Lord.It is because ewe believe in God that we can be come forgiving, compassionate, merciful and helpful and loving.These are the sparks of light that come out of our lives./Jesus wants us to continue sending these rays of goodness through our lives so that others may come to know HIm and accept Him.Our lives are our message.
Through our live,s we have to transform and change the world.The transformation is taking place because of the message of Gospel present in our life.
today we shall ask the Lord to help us to live by the message of the Gospel, to become more loving and forgiving and through our love and forgiveness to reach out other people and transform the,
Lord, help me to be a source of goodness to the people that I come into contact with today.
