� GOSPEL MEDITATION � What does it mean to be salt

and light? If we listen carefully to Jesus’ words, we gain

some direction. To be salt means to bring taste, zest, and joy

to life. We are asked to liven things up a bit by allowing the

joy of our faith to spill over into the lives of others. Only a

sincere and deep relationship with God can freshen up hu-

manity and set it on proper course. To be light means that our

faith must translate into action so that we can be Christ for

others and extend the same arm of mercy and compassion

that Christ did. Our acts of piety, then, cannot be directed

solely at ourselves. Prayer is never about self�benefit but

must always be directed toward union with God, deepening

our relationships with one another and learning how to be

effective stewards of the beautiful universe God has entrusted

to our care.�

� The Master gives us wise direction in terms of how we

can best become the salt and light he desires. Listen carefully

to the Beatitudes. Think about the oppression and alienation

that exists in our world, the violence and prejudice, the anger

and the hatred, the fear and the shame. All of these things

require action. The poor need food, housing, and clothes. Ha-

tred must be replaced by love. Retaliation and violence by

forgiveness. Our thoughts and speech can become more like

Christ. We can change and continue to change. Blessed John

Henry Cardinal Newman said, “To live is to change and to be

perfect is to have changed often.”�

� But it doesn’t end with just offering the bandages need-

ed to heal wounds. It must go deeper. We must ask ourselves

what has happened that we have found ourselves in this place

with these wounds and divisions. What are their causes? To-

gether we must address these systemic problems, politically

and spiritually, and face the truth. Only then will we truly be

salt and light. But then again, we may not like what the light

shows us.�� ©LPi�

MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGÉLIO � Ni siquiera nos pode-

mos imaginar el mundo sin sal y sin luz; ambos son importan-

tes para la vida humana. La sal da sabor a la comida y la luz

incrementa la visibilidad. Por esta razón, nuestro compromiso

al discipulado cristiano por medio del bautismo debe de dar

sabor y luz al estilo de Cristo. El discipulado siempre debe de

llevar al discernimiento del cómo se relaciona la persona con

Dios y con los demás. En las lecturas, especialmente el Evan-

gelio, Jesús dice claramente que si la sal pierde su sabor no

sirve para nada. Advierte claramente a sus discípulos con la

siguiente catequesis: “Ustedes son la sal de la tierra. Si la sal

se vuelve insípida, ¿cómo se le devolverá el sabor? Ya no

sirve para nada y se tira a la calle para que la pise la gen-

te.” (Mateo 5:13). Enseguida, también dice: “Ustedes son la

luz del mundo.” (Mateo 13:14). ¡Vaya compromiso el que se

tiene al ser discípulo de Jesús! �

Ahora, la pregunta es: ¿Qué clase de sabor doy? Soy persona

amargada, egoísta que donde me presento cambia el ambiente

y la conversación por la negatividad que perciben los demás

en mí o por el contario, soy sal y luz en la familia, trabajo y

comunidad. No se debe de olvidar que Cristo es la sal y la luz

para todos. “‘Parece poca cosa’ pero el Señor ‘con pocas

cosas nuestras hace milagros, hace maravillas’ por lo tanto,

es necesario tener esta actitud de ‘humildad’ que consiste en

buscar solamente ser sal y luz.” (Papa Francisco). Pero, ojo,

no se puede ser sal y luz sin relación personal con Cristo que

es sal y luz en mí. ©LPi�

Faith, Hope, & Love. The greatest of these is love.�
