SALT AND LIGHT FOR THE WORLD
The Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time reminds us that being called salt of the earth and light of the world is not a title, but a responsibility. Salt gives flavour and preserves; light dispels darkness and shows the way. In the same way, our faith is meant to be visible in daily life—bringing hope, goodness, and God’s presence into ordinary situations.
Today’s readings make it clear that true faith is lived through compassion and humble witness. Isaiah links worship with care for the poor, Saint Paul points to the power of the Cross rather than human wisdom, and Jesus urges us to let our lives shine so that God may be glorified. To live as salt and light is to allow the Eucharist to shape our words, actions, and relationships.
Smart Liturgy offers these resources to help communities celebrate this Sunday with deeper reflection and active participation. May they support prayerful liturgy and inspire all of us to carry the Gospel beyond the church walls, becoming signs of Christ’s light and love in the world.
