You echo the words of the Gospel of last Sunday and be a living presence in this society so tainted. Carry
excerpts of comment Marinella Perone (already published on my website texts and documents) for its timeliness.
"You can not claim to be salt and light, or believe themselves: we can only accept or reject it to be so. Does this mean that before an ethical duty to be salt and light belongs to the generosity of the gift received. As Israel has not chosen to be God's people, so the disciples did not choose to be the salt of the earth. The just are. This does not diminish the responsibility of the gift received, but as a prophetic statement connotes in terms not of themselves but of justice divine. It may seem obvious, perhaps, but it is not so, since it was around the relationship between faith and works, Christians were able to split in two the entire Western world. "
"The issue of visibility of the world by the disciples of Jesus, on the other hand, a burning issue and always open. The difficult and complex history of our churches proves this as much as the actual encounter on new possible ways of "being in the world without being of the world." Not always, in fact, good works are "transparent", ie leave to see the face of the Father in heaven. Yet, the churches have gone through the story and they allowed the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth and his message as well as the announcement of his death and resurrection exceed the centuries thanks to those who have not made the salt of the testimony tasteless. "
"To be salt and light in the world, you're guaranteed a ticket to paradise individual input. Means to light to all in the house. During the celebrations for the conquest of national unity would be perhaps too much to ask for a country that often claims to be Catholic to explore the extent, in the words of Isaiah, we struggle against oppression or what our speech, the public and private, is guilty? Or wondering if it's really the fault of the secularization that men not giving glory to the Father in heaven and not, rather, because they see our good works? In his disturbing reality, the image of being stepped on salt because it has lost its function affects the sign: If the soup is tasteless, it is not the fault of the soup. "
