Jesus said to his disciples:
“You are the salt of the earth.But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?
It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.You are the light of the world.A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;it is set on a lampstand,where it gives light to all in the house.Just so, your light must shine before others,that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”
Kayo ay Asin at Ilaw
Mateo 5:13-16
13Kayo ang asin ng lupa. Ngunit kapag ang asin ay nawalan ng alat, paano pa ito muling aalat? Wala itong kabuluhan kundi itapon na lamang at yurakan ng mga tao.
14Kayo ang ilaw ng sanlibutan. Ang isang lungsod na nakatayo sa ibabaw ng isang burol ay hindi maitatago. 15Hindi rin sinisindihan ng sinuman ang ilawan upang ilagay sa ilalim ng takalan. Ngunit ito ay inilalagay sa lalagyan ng ilawan at nagliliwanag sa lahat ng nasa bahay. 16Sa ganitong paraan pagliwanagin ninyo ang inyong ilawan sa harap ng mga tao upang makita nila ang inyong mabubuting gawa. Sa gayon ay luluwalhatiin nila ang inyong Ama na nasa langit.

So that others may see our good deeds and glorify our heavenly father, we should become the salt and light of this world.
Salt and light acts as a catalyst, they make a difference by their presence.
If you're a cook, you and your guest knows that you forgot to salt the potato or whatever dishes that needs salt. Salt makes the food safer, healthier or zestier.
Same thing with light. Light brightens up a room so that we can see where were going, so we don't trip and fall.
Salt and Light really makes the difference in our lives and this is the message of our Gospel today.
As Christians, we, like light and salt have to make a difference. Each one of us is sent to places where we live and work to give flavor and brighten up the surroundings by our shining light.
God bless you all forever!
