Excerpt from a Speech by Pope Francis
And remember that life is a walk, walk always, seeking God. Walk steady, tireless and courageous. Something is missing … and what is missing? Walk with light! And what is light? The Gospel, the word of God. Walk, steady, tireless, courageous and with the light of God’s Word.
O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind? Percy Bysshe Shelley

Salt and Light
In todays Gospel we hear of two scenarios where salt is concerned: one is that we are called to be salt of the earth. What salt does for food, Christians are called to do for the world to give life taste. You might recall someone who brought taste to your own life, encouraging you on your journey, offering hope, a new insight or project, someone you followed and learned from. What gifts did they bring? The other scenario in the Gospel today is where salt has lost its taste how can it be restored? You might recall someone you placed great hope in, whether it be a family member, a public figure, a Church leader or politician; someone who had vision and inspired others. Yet the salt or the taste was lost. We see this all around us in our world, when someones potential is lost.
There are many situations in our world today where peoples light is not allowed to shine. It is controlled, hidden, prevented from being used for the benefit of all because of jealousy or perhaps others are afraid of the consequences. Jesus tells us that these lights must shine, for all, and then we can give glory to God in heaven for the fruits it may produce. To help lights shine and to give flavour to the world is our task today. Another way of putting it might be: how are the effects of our encounter with Jesus Christ evident in our lives?
