What does it mean to be salt of the earth and light of the world? 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. 16 Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.

Jesus did not come to take away our suffering but fill our suffering Jesus’s presence.
We might always remember that Jesus has gone before us to prepare a place for us in these hard moments.
St. Ignatius said “see all that Jesus did out of love for us”
I want to be more aware of Jesus presence in the seasons and moments when I suffer
I want to remember every day that Jesus did not come to point us to the way.
Jesus came to be the Way - Jesus came to give us Life
Jesus thank you for being the Way for me in my seasons of suffering.
May you be the Way for others through me.
The injustice and suffering of the journey to Calvary brings sorrow.
The crowed is treating our friend, Jesus, horribly.
I am powerless; I don’t know what Is going to happen; I are afraid , I thirst for peace & justice
I feel so vulnerable to temptation.
What is Jesus feeling? How did he make peace?
When I am treated unjustly, or others are treated unjustly, how do I resist temptation to sin? To take matters into my own hands?
How do I hear God’s voice?
How do I invite my enemies to my table?
I suffer with Christ every time I read this story.
I now know that He suffers with me - leading me as a shepherd - every time I am treated unjustly.
God's peace be with you, Eubie.
