God our Father,
on a hillside in Galilee, your Son Jesus
called us to be the salt of the earth
and the light of the world.
Give us the strength and wisdom to become
the people of the Beatitudes in our day
so that our words may season the world
with the flavour of the Gospel and
our lives be shining examples of Jesus,
who is the true Light of the world.
the people of the Beatitudes in our day
so that our words may season the world
with the flavour of the Gospel and
our lives be shining examples of Jesus,
who is the true Light of the world.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
