Gospel Reading Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus teaches that his disciples are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
When we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, console those who mourn, and so on, we show ourselves to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When we do these things with the community of faith, the Church, we are indeed acting as “a city set on a mountain” that cannot be hidden!
