Preparation for Sunday mass: Matthew 5:13-16

We present here the text that will be read at Sunday mass, the 5th Sunday of Ordinary time, and we formulate some questions that might help us prepare to hear the reading.

13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. 14 "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

- Jesus says we should be salt. What does this mean?

- Jesus says we should be light. What does this mean?

- Parables are an essential part of Jesus’ ministry. Why does he speak in parables?
