Jesus said to his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?” Seasoning is only a small part of a dish, and yet it can change the flavor dramatically. In the same way, even small things we do can bring out the best in the world. With that in mind, here’s your REAL Conversation for the week:
What does it mean to be “the salt of the earth?”
Answer this question with your family. Use it as a conversation starter to think about the types of things you can do to start making a difference in your school, parish, or local community. As you’re talking about it, remember what we read in Hebrews 13:16: Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Talk to your family about all the good things you could be out there doing!
