Enlightened by the Spirit

Gospel Mt 5:13-16 Jesus said to his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father." Thoughts: We need to let our light shine.  We are to bring our Christianity to others.  We should be an example to others and the way we act will draw others to Christ.  Pray: Heavenly Father help me to be a light in this dark world.  Help me to be a true follower of You.  Please show me the way.  I pray this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Reflection Do you know that you will be awarded eternal life?  How do you attain heaven?  Are you a true follower of Christ?  These are all questions that may come to mind when one thinks about the end time.  Stay firmly planted in God and believe in him.  He wants to have a personal relationship with you.  Pray Heavenly Father, please bless me this day.  Help me to realize that heaven is within my grasp.  My life is fleeting and it will come to pass soon enough.  I pray that one day I will be with you in paradise.  I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
