Salt of the Earth

Today's Gospel was from Matthew 5:13-16. Fr.'s homily focused on being the salt of society. Salt was valued in the Gospel as both a preservative and for its flavor. Today we are called to "salt" society. This means we are to preserve God's values and flavor those around us. And this message is not a secret limited to one creed, race or nation. We are called to be the light of the world and to let our light shine before all. How can you preserve those around you and add flavor to those you meet?
