You are the light of the world, the salt of the earth. You bring light, not darkness. You bring peace, not strife. Love not hate. You (and I) should make this world a better place. How can you do that home? How can do that at work, at church? Tune in…

Who can you show a little mercy to? Who in your life falls short, and you give them a hard time for it? Who in your life doesn’t do right by you, and you are holding that against them?

People say that as a Christian you should be meek – not loud, not boisterous, not aggressive or even assertive – it’s often paired with Jesus’ scripture about turning the other cheek. But does that mean that we should be cowardly or spineless? Does it mean we should be quiet and give in easily? Not necessarily. Tune in to learn more about this Beatitude.
