So at our, filthy 'eathen, pygan, worship tonoight,

(That's supposed to be a Cockney accent and I 'ereby give up)

Our pastor preached again and said:

I don't believe Jesus! [We all know he's kidding so we didn't give the rhetorically expected gasp.] You aren't the light of the world, and I'm not either; you have no savor and neither have I.

JESUS is the light of the world, Jesus is the salt. We have no light or savor of our own. If we are to be the salt and light of the world we must abide in Jesus. Abide in Him.

Not bad, I thought, for a midweek 'omily.

I love to see fellow Catholics go to church on days other than Sundays. I have friends that go every day. They amaze me. I became a part of a group called Regnum Christi, what a blessing!! That has really helped me in my walk of faith. Pray for me Mad Dawg. Compared to some of my friends, I REALLY fall short. I want to be better. Thanks.

“Not bad, I thought, for a midweek ‘omily.”

I like your Pastor. It sounds like an eternal homily. Thank you.

This is the site for a book by Andrew Murray, a saint from a past era on the subject of “Abide in Christ” It is a classic devotional book.

***JESUS is the light of the world, Jesus is the salt. We have no light or savor of our own. If we are to be the salt and light of the world we must abide in Jesus. Abide in Him.***

Well spoken. We are nothing without Him.

He is the Reason and the Purpose. Our lives, dedicated to ourselves are as ashes and dust.
