Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 5, 2017

Light shines through the darkness for the upright.

— Psalm 112:4 THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

As children we sang the lively song This Little Light of Mine. The words, of course, are based on today’s Gospel, in which we are called as disciples to be salt and light for the world. Children are uninhibited about sharing their faith. It’s only when we grow older that we prefer to hide our light under a bushel basket because our culture tends not to emphasize discipleship. The message in this week’s readings is clear: in order to give glory to God through our discipleship, we must show the light of Christ in our words and deeds. Not an easy thing for inhibited adults. Often we may think of salt and light in terms of what we do for others, but it can be just as important not to do something, such as getting angry with the stranger on the road, or telling an offensive joke.

Flu season is here. If you are sick, or think you might be sick, or are

concerned about contracting an illness, you should refrain from receiving the Blood of Christ. Be assured that “since Christ is sacramentally present under each of the species, communion under the species of bread alone makes it possible to receive all the fruit of Eucharistic grace.” [Catechism, 1390]

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE !!!

The story is told about a German Pastor who was to speak at a gathering, and who requested the emcee to make a simple and basic introduction of him without titles or achievements, to just say that he is a humble shepherd or something to that effect. So the emcee said: "Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you our speaker, a simple German shepherd!." In today`s gospel, Jesus tells us the most simple and most basic description of what a Christian should be, i.e; the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are called to make a difference in this world. To be like salt is to be of substance, and to be like light is to be of radiance, to give glory to God. As salt we are called to be sweet disciples, friendly and kind, living at peace with everybody. As light we are called to show the way and to shine in good works of righteousness. Without light and salt the world would be in very bad shape, uninteresting and impossible to live in. With light and salt the world becomes a safer and better place. It is our duty as Christians to make the world a better place. Let your light shine and may your good deeds always shine forth, glorifying our heavenly Father! Peace!!

Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 5 de febrero de 2017

El justo brilla como una luz en las tinieblas. — Salmo 112(111):4 MI PEQUEÑA LUZ Cuando éramos niños cantábamos efusivamente la canción Mi pequeña luz (This Little Light of Mine). La letra de la canción, desde luego, está basada en el Evangelio de hoy, en este estamos llamados como discípulos a ser la sal y la luz del

mundo. Los niños no tienen dificultad para compartir su fe; solo es cuando crecemos que preferimos esconder nuestra luz bajo un tazón porque nuestra cultura tiende a no enfatizar el discipulado. El mensaje en las lecturas de esta semana es claro: para poder dar gloria a Dios por medio del discipulado, debemos mostrar la luz de Cristo en nuestras palabras y obras. No es algo fácil para adultos inhibidos. A menudo podemos pensar en la sal y la luz en términos de lo que hacemos por los demás, pero puede ser tan importante como el no hacer nada, ya sea como enojarse con un desconocido en la carretera o decir una broma ofensiva.
