As Christians, we are called to be both salt and light on this earth (Matthew 5:13-16). Salt, to add flavor, to enhance, to preserve those with whom we mingle. Light, to reflect, to beckon, to illuminate the darkness around us. We ourselves are to be echoes of a greater glory, reverberating with traces of the divine and reminding others that there is in fact more to life than the same old everyday stuff that dominates their time.
