You are Salt of the Earth, and Light of the World

Last Sunday's reading highlighted the fact that we are the Salt of the Earth, and Light of the World. I am reminded of my time in Toronto, Canada for the World Youth Day.

As I look back on that experience, I wander if I am any different from that person more than 10 years ago. I often ask myself if I am being Christ to those around me... It is a tough calling, to be the Salt of the Earth, and Light of the World. It is even worse to know that those who do not bring Christ to others will be thrown out, like salt that has lost its taste. Most days, I find myself failing in my call as a Christian. It is on those days that I pray for the grace of God, and I am strengthen with renewed vigour to live my life as Christ would want me to.

Let us not be discouraged and be assured that Christ is with us in our calling as Christians. We are not alone and have God as our strength and guide.
