Salt without flavor is no longer salt. Light that illuminates nothing is no longer light. As Christians, we must be what we have been made to be. So think about it, carefully: what stands between you and being who you were made to be?  ©LPi

How am I being invited to live my faith more visibly through acts of mercy, welcome, and accompaniment? 

Where can I trust God’s power more deeply so that my life points beyond myself to Christ?

READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY AT USCCB

First Reading - Isaiah 58:7–10

True worship overflows into compassionate action—welcoming the hungry, the poor, and the vulnerable so that God’s light can be made visible through us.

Who is God inviting me to notice, welcome, or serve more intentionally so that His light may rise through my actions?

Second Reading - 1 Corinthians 2:1–5

Paul reminds us that missionary discipleship is not about eloquence or self-confidence, but about humble reliance on the power of the Spirit at work within us.

Where might God be asking me to let go of self-reliance so that others may encounter Christ through my humility and trust?

Gospel - Matthew 5:13–16

Jesus calls us to be salt and light—disciples whose everyday words and actions reveal God’s goodness and draw others into the warmth of His love.

How do my daily choices and relationships reflect the light of Christ to those God has placed in my path?
