SALT OF THE EARTH (Matthew 5:13-14)

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid."

Matthew 5:13-14

 

"Christians are to live in such a way that their good works shine before others, not to glorify themselves, but to glorify God."

St. Augustine

 

"The People of God is marked by characteristics that clearly distinguish it from all other religious, ethnic, political, or cultural groups found in history: it is the salt of the earth and the light of the world. This people is ‘a most sure seed of unity, hope, and salvation for the whole human race."
