We are salt of the Earth.

We might think salt is just a common spice nowadays, but it was an essential and necessary item for survival in ancient times.

This means that Jesus is telling us we are essential, and we are intimately connected to Christ in His life, death and resurrection.

Jesus speaks to us today, not just the apostles 2,000 years ago. Let us be filled with the sacraments He gave us, so we can continue to be salt of the earth.

Gospel: Matthew 5:13-16
