Salt and light, that's you and me

“Its easy to be a Saint and a Sage in your room. You should go out into the market place and try to be a saint there” Now there’s a challenge. We are all heroes in our own minds and thoughts. But putting the good we desire into practise is the real challenge.       Be the change you want to see in another. We all want to save the world, but not just yet! We are all just one more unrecyclable product away from change, from making a difference.
  The call of Jesus to be salt to the earth and light is quite a call.
Sr Joan Chittister OSB  in her book The Time is now, a call to Uncommon  courage offers some insights about how we might begin to rise to the Challenge . Sr Joan asks …
 
 How do we really get out of the swamp we are in?
 By Confronting it.
 
 How?
 Truthfully
 
 But what will it take?
 A model, a vision, a commitment ,courage, and
 Annnnnnd?
 
 What else is needed to fix a muddled world?
 You
