Jesus is the True Salt

Do not delay to turn back to the Lord, and do not postpone it from day to day; for suddenly the wrath of the Lord will come upon you, and at the time of punishment you will perish.
Sirach 5:7 NRSV

“Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Mark 9:50 NRSV

The Lords prayer, says “lead us not into temptation” because, for those of us who accept and serve God, the testing is all the more. However, we need to keep ourselves, and we can do that with salt, for salt preserves and purifies. Jesus is the true salt and we cannot afford to lose him for it is He who purifies us by taking on our sin and it is His Grace that preserves and keeps us from falling.

I pray that God our Father, gives you the grace to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, so that your life will be purified & preserved for the Eternal Feast in His Kingdom. And may His Holy Spirit keep your heart open to the word of God. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
