Jill Bevilacqua looks at this Sunday’s Gospel reading in her programme, "There’s
more in the Sunday Gospel than meets the eye” . Listen: Gospel Mt5:13-16 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.”
