5 Sunday A: Be Salt and Light
Gospel Text: Matthew 5:13-16Michel de Verteuil
General notes
Following on the Beatitudes, this Sunday’s gospel adds some more insights into the qualities of the followers of Jesus. It does this through three images – salt, light (in two phases) and a city built on a hilltop.
4 Sunday A: Beatitudes: Blessed are you
Gospel Text: Matthew 5:1-12

General comments
On this Sunday the “continuous reading” of St Matthew’s gospel (see last week’s “guidelines”) leads us to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ long discourse which runs from chapters 5 to 7 and has always been recognised as a summary of all his teaching.
3 Sunday A: Liturgical Prayers
Greeting
May Christ, the true light of the world,
always brighten and inspire our lives.?
May our faces reflect his warmth and love,?
and may the Lord always be with you. R/ And also with you.

Fr. Bill Grimm:
From The Connections:
‘My Monastery Is a Minivan’
When asked our religion, most of us would describe ourselves as “Catholic” or “Christian.” But we would tend to back away from daring to call ourselves “disciple” or “follower.” That description rightly belongs to the great heroes of our faith: the apostles and holy men and women of the Gospel, the saints and martyrs, the Francises of Assisi, the Mother Teresas, the Thomas Mertons, the Dorothy Days, the Albert Schweitzers. Our lives are too ordinary, our professions too worldly to dare imagine that we are doing the work of the Gospel Jesus.
