Tuesday of 10th week in ordinary Time C. Mt. 5;13-16
Salt and Light
Jesus, in today's Gospel, likens his disciples to salt and light. "You are the salt of the earth... you are the light of the world. The salt, in ancient times, salt was essential for flavoring food, preserving it, and was also a disinfectant. Christians are that "salt," that is, those agents of positive change, who bring the flavor of Christ's love, preserve it in a world that can often feel stale or decaying.
By shining in the world by their words and deeds, Christians become that light that dispels the darkness of the world. So we are the light of the world.
