Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5, 13-16
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.”
The path of light
1. Salt. We Christians are called to give flavor to life, to give zest to life. Whether or not you live your life with relish is up to you, just as it’s up to you to lead an insipid life. I understand that there are things that are unpleasant and that make you bitter but take them as an experience. Take your life as it comes and enjoy everything you do. Learn to savor life so that your life gives flavor to those around you. It’s all about living life abundantly and joyfully, so that it’s good to be near you and share things with you.
2. Trampled on. When you don’t enjoy your life and you feel bitter, many people come to trample on you. Don’t be naive, you have to accept that when some people see you down in life, they take the opportunity to trample on you and get you down, even more than you already are. Therefore, don’t allow them to tread on you, because you are a worthy person. The process of depression is common: bitterness leads you to sadness, sadness to reluctance and reluctance leads you to be trampled on. Try to feel positive and don’t let go of what gives you joy and what awakens your desire to live, so that it may encourage you to move forward and to learn how to stand up for yourself.
3. Shine. Don’t stop doing things with passion because that encourages you to move forward. Shine from what you are passionate about and be passionate about living. Remember what God has created you for. Be aware of the light that’s in you and pass it on. I can assure you that you will eliminate the darkness in many people. I like to say that the electric socket is “helping others” and the power is “prayer”.
Remember that something good is on the way!
God bless you and guard you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
