Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 5, 13-16)
At that time, Jesus told his disciples:
"You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be salted? A good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled by the people.
You are the light of the world can not be hidden is a city on a hill or turn on a lamp puts it under a bushel, but on the lamp stand, and so does light to all in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. "

If I put a large spoon of salt in the soup, it will be inedible. It takes only a bit, which is enough to flavor it. Or, without using an image, even if there are only a few men to bear with good humor, kindness and indulgence of the weaknesses of their neighbors (and theirs, more!), Not to be concerned solely about assertiveness, to pursue their own purposes and interests, this handful of men have the ability to change their environment, contributing to human remains that our world. Our world would be poor, cold and inhuman if there were men who show this kindness and generosity of this spontaneous.
be the salt of the earth, we are confident enough to believe in the contagious nature of goodness? Or are we content to fear the contagious power of evil? A pinch of salt is enough to give flavor to any dish.
Each of us, even if you feel isolated, has the chance to change the climate around it! Jesus believed capable: you are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world! Are we?
