As Salt of the Earth, We Sometimes Must Be Gritty - Daily Gospel Reflection
Daily Gospel Reflection on Veritas Catholic Network
Praised be Jesus Christ! Today’s Gospel reading is Mt 5:13-16, it is the feast of St. Barnabas the Apostle. Jesus instructs us to be salt if the earth and light for the world. We can only be these two things if we have cultivated the spirit of the Beatitudes. Salt is gritty, as such the Gospel sometimes “rub you the wrong way”, it can convict your conscience of your sin. It can sting. When we celebrate the feasts of the Apostles we are reminded of our own vocation to bring the Gospel to the world. St. Barnabas, pray for us.
