"You are the salt of the earth," Jesus said in Matthew 5. How would Jesus' first disciples have understood this phrase, "You are the salt of the earth"?
The bizarre thing is that salt does not lose its flavor, so what does this mean when Jesus speaks of salt losing its flavor as well? What would Jews at the time of Jesus have used salt for and how can that inform this famous phrase of Jesus calling his disciples to be "the salt of the earth"? Watch now to learn more.
To learn more about this passage in Matthew 5 where Jesus' gives this exhortation in the Sermon on the Mount, along with the connection between it, the Responsorial Psalm, and the Old Testament reading for this Sunday's Mass, subscribe today to The Mass Readings Explained:

Weird thought. But I lived in Wisconsin as a child. Salt also melts away ice/cold. Cold is the lack of warmth. Salt is tossed on the slippery ground, so that we may walk without falling. 🤔

Salt retains water in your body. If you are in the desert, the importance of consuming some salt will keep you from sweating too profusely which gives you the ability to regulate your cooldown, too much salt is not good. Same goes for sugar and anything sweet.

Salt has some associations with wisdom/humility/pride. Jesus asked do you have enough salt to contend with the yeast of the Pharisees? Jesus also referred to himself as the good yeast. So we can see that bread will rise (perhaps is the rock growing to the mountain (Peter and the Catholic Church)) if we add the right amount of salt to the flour water and yeast. Too much salt (wisdom turning to pride) and the yeast (word of God) is killed. Yet a little salt (wisdom and humility) kills the bad yeast (bacteria(false doctrines))... ...it’s slightly cumbersome to explain because we have symbolism embedded in symbolism but if it is grasped, it can be see as a simple and elegant pattern of reality.

I heard salt of inedible kinds from the dead sea was literally salt of the earth and used to cover excrement - if taken this way we could be told to be like the minority of good people who might evoke God's mercy to all, like God told Abraham. Same sort of general concept - we are elected for the sake of all an impure world. I would like to know how far this goes as encouragement that maybe our faith can work for the salvation of our unbelieving neighbours?

Given all this, why is the bread of Passover, and the Eucharistic bread, free of salt? Is it just the image of a penitential or unembellished bread? Anyone know if there's more to it?

why did Dr. Pitre skip the feast of the Presentation of Jesus? Wasn't that the Sunday reading for Feb. 2? Just wondering, we would have learnt much from his learned explanations of why Joseph & Mary had to go to the temple, etc.

THE SIGN OF THE SON AND THE FALSE PROPHET I am required to provide twenty fours hours a day, and seven days a week of unpaid parental responsibilities, and forced into a living situation where the Father is awarded full financial control establishing a totalitarian household. Designed to empower them the authority to discredit their victims a dictator with criminal intent should not be shielded by the government, and protected by the law. If the vow to treat me equal is not honored, and two males vote to deny my authority in the family structure how can you say the one giving himself the right to judge, and further holding me responsible to be persecuted is not claiming to be God? In the case of Hitler my ancestors have suffered enough, and silencing me only to use my innocent daughter as a sacrifice never escaping captivity we all know how this story begins. Children scattered, and ripped from my arms. Home taken, and property pillaged. Left for dead to starve with no resources. Spit on, ignored, laughed at, and persecuted. Suffering for his glorification he kicks me out of the family structure, and butts right in expecting me to thank him, and praise him for making my life worse setting me up to die with no resources of starvation. Protecting his right to dictate over me treating me like I have no right to decide how I spend time. Bow before the gold you worship, and one by one they line up to tolerate a lifetime of dedication to nothing, but struggling, aches, pains, tumors, boils, gnashing of teeth. The more you live the more life hurts a pointless show of the same thing over, and over again. 24 hours to begin anew with the wisdom of the ages. “Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’ And, ‘He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.’ They stumble because they do not obey God's word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.” -1 Peter 2:7-8 Defeating the whole purpose of what a justice system is designed to accomplish, it's a good thing I didn’t have a Father who set bad example giving himself the superior financial authority to break the 10 commandments, otherwise I would think it was normal for a Mother to be treated like trash, and worthless to her children. Can you image a world where love no longer reaches children, and Mothers had no say so when sexual offenders wanted to molest, rape, and beat them at will? If all Mother's were treated like the way I have been treated, and two men want to come together to vote us “incompetent” then civil human beings will cease to exist. Creating a image of himself he crowns himself King, and a sign hangs from his bedroom door that reads “KEEPING MOTHERS, AND CHILDREN SILENT SACRIFICE OF LAMBS IN PROGRESS.” “Those who convict the innocent by their false testimony will disappear. A similar fate awaits those who use trickery to pervert justice and who tell lies to destroy the innocent.” -Isaiah 29:21. The crucifixion represents an unjust act of hate, pain, and suffering that leads to the tomb going against everything I dedicate my life to preserve and protect. All I want is to ensure my children have a happy life without fear of death. I would never expect the victim to be punished for crimes committed against them. I know how it feels to work your whole life struggling to give my children a safe home only to be marked, robbed, caged, and stripped of my title degraded. “Instead, God choose those the world considers foolish in order to shame those who might think they are wise. And he choose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. -1 Corinthians 1:25 Growing up to be just like the Father everyone is fooled by the “superior” government convincing all the sons it is honorable to suffer, and die in brutal war. He leaves them to murder, and be murdered until they have no use of their limbs from a bomb going off exploding in their face. This is how he wants you to honor the beast, and learn the hard way. “The people of Moab will worship at their pagan shrines but it will do the no good. They will cry to the gods in their temples, but no one will be able to save them.” -Isaiah 16:12 As fragile and small as she may seem the strength of love in the cradle of a Mother's arms sends signals of comfort, and relief. Likened to the colors of the arc on a rainbow after the raining of tears are wiped away. Wars are settled, and fighting ends. Fear of the bully goes away. I heal sickness, and take pain away. I teach right from wrong, and I don’t inflict cruel, and unusual punishment when my rules are not obeyed. Rising above childish behavior as a Mother I have to constantly reinforce over, and over, and over again re-shaping the default structure of DNA until finally they act like civil human beings protecting, and sustaining life. The problem is when boys reach a certain age they endanger themselves making up reasons to degrade my daughter's. They treat them completely different when they grow up, and take them as their wives leaving me completely powerless. When you box me in a cage to poke, pry, spit, laugh, and make fun of me plagues sweep across the nation that contains me. It doesn't do them any favors when they oppress my people except set themselves up for disaster. “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” -John 4:4 Words are frequencies, and depending on what thoughts you choose to dwell on are the roads which will map out your future destination, and in time the line is crossed to his creation in order to experience for himself the world from another perspective. When he chooses not to listen he punishes himself.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kRBhg7Z9YR0.html

@@josephjackson1956 THIS IS THE LORD YOUR GOD SPEAKING. Make the sign of the cross. The Father, and Son combine as one male. “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male, and FEMALE he created them.” - Genesis 1:27 The Holy spirit has a missing body. “One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from the heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” -Luke 3:22 “But don’t just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in the mirror.” -James 1:22-23 “Then the Lord God said, Look human beings have become like US knowing both good, and evil.” -Genesis 3:22 “ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.” -Matthew 19:6 Blame alone was man's sin “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.” -Matthew 1:23 When you reward the Father financial power you assign a Pharaoh to every household and worship a false God. I don’t bow to any “superior” power that blames holocaust victims, and sets them up to “recover” in government sponsored institutions. It is the perfect plan convincing everyone to shut out my authority pretending I am formless, empty, and powerless against the forces of evil. What’s the point going through all this excruciating pain just to rise here again in the end? You roll me up, and throw me out into space spinning, and what goes around comes back around. Experiencing hell would be a place of physical, and mental torment trapped with no way out forbidden to speak. A complete worthless waste of time you hit the nail right on the head describing planet earth, because that is exactly my thought about life too. The establishment of financial inequality caused the separation of houses, and division of the states. Acting alone he tips the scales of justice all in his favor at the judgement seat, and taking Christ Cross short cuts is Bible code for last final warning! “Again and again the Lord had sent his prophets and seers to warn both Israel, and Judah: ’Turn from all your evil ways. Obey my commands and decrees-the entire law that I have commanded your ancestors to obey, and that I gave you through my servants the prophets.’” -2 Kings 17:13 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PTY6QgyxWkk.html
