FAMILY FAITH SHARING QUESTIONS FOR…
February 6th
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Matthew 5:13-16
In today's Gospel Jesus proclaims that we "are the salt of the earth"
and warns us not to lose the taste. He goes on to proclaim that we are
also “the light of the world" and tells us not to hide our light.
With these metaphors, Jesus tells his disciples — which means us!
— how we are to live. Salt is important in flavoring food, so our
life as a disciple is to
be an example of change in the world. Christ is our light and at our
baptism we receive the light of Christ, which we are to carry into the
world.
A family prayer service could center around a large candle with a small
one for each family member. Begin in the dark then light the large
candle (representing Christ); notice how the light shows us the way and
gives warmth. Next have each member light their candle; now notice how
much more
light there is with us joining together to share the light of Christ.
Talk about some of the good works that you do (or have done) that
spread the light of Christ.Do you think that what you do — or
have done — has changed anything? You? Others?
