During the Lunar New Year and Lenten season,
I reflect on the essence of salt.
Salt of the earth.
How to bring out God-flavours in this world.

When You went about Your preaching and healing,
what mattered more?
Performing great acts that astonished the crowds?
Or being present to the blind man You encountered?
The leper?
The grieving mother?

During this season of feasting and also fasting,
show me the way to be salt of the earth.
