Jesus says that you and I "will be salted with fire" (Mk 9:49). The scriptural uses for salt reveal several possible meanings:
"You are the salt of the earth" (Mt 5:13). Get fired up!
PRAYER: | Father, don't just sprinkle me with fire; set me aflame with Your love. |
PROMISE: | "Keep salt in your hearts and you will be at peace with one another." –Mk 9:50 |
PRAISE: | St. Polycarp, a disciple of the original apostles, was burned at the stake for his faith in Jesus. |
