THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Gospel Mt 5:14-16

Light of the world

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

CONCEPTS:

Light of the world: In a room, light helps us not to stumble.

Measure (Bowl): A clay container that holds about 20 liters.

Lampstand: A support to place candles higher so they illuminate the entire room.
