Light the Way and taste good

The Roman Catholic Lectionary for today causes me to consider the importance of a human person in the spread of the Good News of the invitation to intimacy with the Divine. In the 1st Book of Kings, I wonder about the role of the person of Elijah in the calling of the widow to faith in Providence. Matthew follows the account of the Beatitudes, yesterday, with the exhortation of Jesus to His disciples to be “Salt and Light”. The presence of the human to guide and provide life through example is the invitation to know the Presence within the indwelling Spirit.
