The readings for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time focus on how we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. As Christians we should preach the gospel using everything at our disposal, but making sure to give God the glory. One of the dangers we may face, though, is false humilty. How many times have you played down your strengths for fear of coming off as arrogant? Well, ironically, by doing that we aren't giving God any glory because he gave us our strengths (and our weaknesses) to shine brightly before men and to give glory to our heavenly Father.

Dcn. David and Fr. Jonathan consider how being a preacher in the Church requires never preaching themselves, but preaching only Jesus. Following in the long line of apostles, from Peter and Paul and down through the ages, Christians today are to preach Jesus so that the Church may be united under her one Head.

The season of Advent has encouraged us to wait patiently and hopefully for the coming of the Lord. This week, the readings give us the final set of readings in expectation of the birth of Christ. We hear the prophecy in Isaiah and its fulfillment in the Gospel. We also hear about the righteousness of Joseph and his willingness to serve the Lord with obedience and faith.

This week the Church begins a new liturgical year with the first Sunday of Advent. The readings this week invite us to consider how we are preparing both for the coming of the Lord at Christmas, but also at the end of time.

This week Jesus speaks to us about the coming persecution and the end of the world. He also speaks to us, though, about the confidence we can have in God's love for us.
