Today's Gospel

Mt 5:13-16 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.”

TKC!

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.

I remember my mother sending the us "kids" (the 4 of us) to a Salvation Army Bible School one year. It was during WW II, my father was in the Navy, and my mother had a full time job. I'm certain she had no real interest in the Salvation Army but it was a good baby sitter for a few weeks.

I have a dim memory of the Bible Study (though it might be where the "brothers of Jesus story became implanted in my subconcious?) but I do remember the hymn "Don't hide your light under a bushel".
