Clergy Thoughts The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A, Mother Church reminds us of Jesus teaching of living as salt and light in the world. This reminds people that their actions can make a difference. Even small acts of kindness can bring hope to others. When people trust in God and live with love, they help spread His message. Faith is not just about words; it is about how people live every day. May we be truly salt and light of the world to all we encounter. Amen. Fr Alex

ANIMA CHRISTI – Please check the first page of the Hymn Book for the prayer.
