Pope Francis spoke about being a Christian witness during his homily at Casa Santa Marta. He said it means edifying others and helping them in their darkest hour. <\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> He asked that Christians not seek any merit for their actions, but instead seek everyday holiness through service. <\/p>\n EXTRACTS OF PAPAL HOMILY<\/strong> \u201cThe Lord says: \u2018You are salt; you are light.\u2019\u2026 But do so in order that others see and glorify God. You will not even receive any merit. When we eat, we don\u2019t compliment the salt. No, we say the pasta or meat is good\u2026 When we go to sleep at night, we don\u2019t say the light is good. We ignore the light, but we live illuminated by light. This impels Christians to be anonymous witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEveryday holiness means being salt and light for others.'<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 12, 2018. \u201cBecause salt does not give flavor to itself, nor light illuminate itself; they serve others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":22848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[195],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KsseMA6Yz4Y","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bstamarta1206eng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bstamarta1206int.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49261"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n\u201cSalt for others; light for others: Because salt does not give flavor to itself but always serves others. Light does not illuminate itself but always serves others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n(Source: Vatican News)
\n\u201cSalt for others; light for others: Because salt does not give flavor to itself but always serves others. Light does not illuminate itself but always serves others\u2026 Supermarkets sell salt in small quantities, not by the ton. And salt does not promote itself because it doesn\u2019t serve itself. It exists to serve others, by conserving things and giving flavor. This is simple witness.\u201d <\/p>\n
