We are the salt of the earth. We give flavor to the life on this planet We are the light of the world. We make bright a world that tends toward dullness and darkness. That’s what this Sunday’s Gospel reading tells us. Someone was saying the other day that while many religions call us to have faith in God, Christianity is unique in that it is a religion that believes God also has faith in us. Sometimes I don’t feel much like the salt of the earth or the light of the world, but God has put me in this place and in this time and has confidence that I can do the job I am called to do. That is true for you as well. We can make a big difference in our world. God wouldn’t call us to do something that we are incapable of. (After all, who knows our capabilities better than God?)Our best is good enough. God can work with it. God can do miracles with it.
