FAITH BOOK 5th SUNDAY (A) February 8, 2026 Isaiah 58: 7-10; Psalm 112; I Corinthians 2: 1-5; Matthew 5: 13-16 By: Jude Siciliano, OP
Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.From today’s Gospel reading:
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.
Reflection:
Jesus reminds us that faith is not meant to be hidden or kept private. Like salt, our discipleship is meant to bring flavor, preserve what is good, and make a difference where we live and work. Like light, our lives are meant to reflect God’s goodness so others can find their way. When we live the Gospel with integrity, kindness, and courage, our ordinary actions become signs of God’s presence in the world.
So, we ask ourselves:
1. Where in my daily life is God calling me to be more visible in faith and love? 2. How do my words and actions help preserve what is good in my family, parish, or community? 3. What might be causing my faith to lose its “saltiness,” and how can I renew it today?
