Dear Friend in the Lord,
“God’s Love” – Faith: Jesus proclaimed that “salt” and “light” have purpose that must be used. Ponder on, “When God Created us, out of Love, He Desired that we also love Him in return: with our whole heart, mind, strength and soul. St Ignatius of Loyola says, “The purpose of our lives is to praise, reverence and serve God, and save our souls.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You are salt for the earth. But if salt loses its taste, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled under people’s feet.
‘You are light for the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in people’s sight, so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.’
