In several passages of the Gospel, Jesus exhorts His followers that they are the salt of the Earth and light of the World.

The Christian message is a call to detachment from worldly things and values.

Detachment is not in the sense of contempt, but with the meaning of giving all its fair value.

It is known that the earthly achievements are fleeting and transitory.

Everything that concerns the material in the world has a great weakness.

Beauty, power, influence, fortune, everything, sooner or later, dies or changes hands.

Life is full of setbacks and the obstacles inherent to the human trajectory may ulcerate.

Who puts all its joys and expectations in these transitory achievements applies for strong disappointment.

The proposal in the Gospel is that you should live in the World but not belonging to the World.

Occupy yourself with activities that ensure dignity of life and the maintenance of social order.

Study, work, take care of your health and plan your own existence with prudence and discretion.

However, realize that the purpose of the live site is not limited to such aspects.

As much precious as the material conquers may be, one day, they will stay behind.

At the same time, the reversals of fortune do not always allow it to reach its intended goal.

Not even for that the human creature should become distressed or indifferent.

For well use of the time on Earth, it needs to learn giving each thing its deserved value.

Considering its potential to develop the intelligence and the willing, the most common dreams are possible.

However, its performance cannot be the aim of existence.

Knowing that one day the physical body will perish, it is important to take care of what it transcends.

There it is the possibility that the Christian message has to give a new flavor to human life.

Like salt, it works like a spice, gives a different attraction to what would otherwise be tasteless.

This is the invitation to experience the virtues with the potential to make the heart sweet and peaceful.

Jesus has shown the world a God full of love and wisdom.

The faith in this loving and wise God has the power to soothe the soul, between the struggles of the world.

Also, forgiveness is a liberating force, allowing us to keep going quietly through the attacks.

Compassion makes man pay attention to his neighbors and feel the desire to help them.

That can help man to not think a lot about his own problems and his life gets simpler.

The Gospel means Good News and its goal is to make men happy.

Does not promise a happiness made of unstable and perishable human achievements.

Although it assures a life of sweet emotions, with endless peacemaker potential.

Think about it.
