� What does it mean to be salt and light? If we listen care-
fully to Jesus’ words, we gain some direction. To be salt means to
bring taste, zest, and joy to life. We are asked to liven things up a
bit by allowing the joy of our faith to spill over into the lives of
others. Only a sincere and deep relationship with God can freshen
up humanity and set it on proper course. To be light means that our
faith must translate into action so that we can be Christ for others
and extend the same arm of mercy and compassion that Christ did.
Our acts of piety, then, cannot be directed solely at ourselves. Pray-
er is never about self-benefit but must always be directed toward
union with God, deepening our relationships with one another and
learning how to be effective stewards of the beautiful universe God
has entrusted to our care.
������ The Master gives us wise direction in terms of how we can
best become the salt and light he desires. Listen carefully to the
Beatitudes. Think about the oppression and alienation that exists in
our world, the violence and prejudice, the anger and the hatred, the
fear and the shame. All of these things require action. The poor
need food, housing, and clothes. Hatred must be replaced by love.
Retaliation and violence by forgiveness. Our thoughts and speech
can become more like Christ. We can change and continue to
change. Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman said, “To live is to
change and to be perfect is to have changed often.”
������ But it doesn’t end with just offering the bandages needed
to heal wounds. It must go deeper. We must ask ourselves what has
happened that we have found ourselves in this place with these
wounds and divisions. What are their causes? Together we must
address these systemic problems, politically and spiritually, and
face the truth. Only then will we truly be salt and light. But then
again, we may not like what the light shows us.
