Jesus calls his disciples the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If we are not bringing meaning and truth to the world, Jesus says, our whole purpose as the Church is lost. It is so easy to get used to a tasteless and darkened practice of our faith. We must not allow ourselves to become complacent.
