In his homily for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Father Joseph LoJacono, pastor of St. Veronica and St. Hugh of Cluny Parishes in Philadelphia, describes how the symbols of salt and light point us to life and wisdom.

In calling us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, Jesus seeks to purify our intellect, train our will and form our heart.
