DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage
Dear Friend in the Lord,
Salvation: In today’s Gospel, Jesus uses the image of “salt and earth,” and “light” that shines for the world to see, to remind us that the purpose of our life is to discern and live God’s Will, in His Love and Ways. Pray for the wisdom to allow the Holy Spirit to protect and unfold God’s Providence for you daily.
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.’
