Mt 5.13-16 refreshing + enlightening

Mt tells us: Jesus is of the opinion that his disciples are people who refresh and
enlighten the world. It's really a compliment...
If we go to Church we will get the experiences being refreshed and enlightened!
Sure: you know people they have been refreshing you and they brought light into your situation. That's good...   And you, for which people are you a refreshing and
lightening experience ?

Sorry sometimes it's not the case! people are tasteless and sure no light.
Also Pope Francis likes to tell us: enjoy the Gospel; because the Gospel will make you  "salt + light".

But now we go to the next level: not only you, but your Community as such may be
"salt + light". The Christian Community in your Village, in your City is called to be
"salt + light". And in the whole "Christian Namibia" did you ever hear of a Parish or Community (SCC), who refreshes and enlightens Namibia ? Once we got the slogan: "Community serving Humanity" sure this means to be a light and salt for
the Namibian population -  a light into the economy, policy, culture - society!
Violence, corruption etc...   where is the light ? the salt ?

Did we learn in our Church to build up such a network, such a relation between the members - to become an action-group "a light-salt-group" ?
MSC, OSB etc... these are groups (sorry: "congregations") and I like to hear of them, I wait for the moment people may tell me: Father, there is a "group" who
is recognized as "light + salt" in Namibia.

As we go into the "year of family", don't forget: the family is a group of different people - and they must learn to relate!
In our time nothing is more refreshing and enlightening as a good relation;
a friendship, a social network where the one is for the other "salt + light"
and togehter they become a "handful salt; a boundet light."

One day the word of Jesus is not only a call-up but also a description!
