Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

Dear family members and friends: In today’s Gospel Jesus uses two symbols to denote our lives: Salt and light. Both are very common things and are of everyday use. Both add to the quality of human life. The salt has many qualities and is used for various purposes: it adds taste to the food, it has a preserving power, it is used for healing some wounds, it is used as fertiliser etc. But it is important that it should have the saltiness in it.  Jesus reminds us that our life should have that saltiness of deep faith and love so that our life can add taste to the life of others by doing good, can cure many problems in relationships, can support others to grow etc. Same way our life should be visible to others radiating good examples and good works just as the light which makes things visible. The life of a Christian should not be hidden one but should be an open one making the good works visible. Amen
