February 8, 2026: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus Christ calls us to be salt and light, becuase God has created us to be filled with His goodness and shine forth His love that He pours into us.

Like St. Paul writes, in humility, we magnify the power of God as we put love in action through deeds that serve others.

And as the prophet Isaiah writes, as people of faith, we don't just settle for religious rituals.  We are called to transformation that leads us to meet the needs of others, and to be charitable, holding back from malicious speech, and then our Light shines as God truly works through us.

We are not meant to live for ourselves, but to find fulfillment as we are transformed to shine what God has put into us.
