Pinch of Salt How to season the World Around You! “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
A Pinch of Salt is an example of being a seed planter when the opportunity comes your way. It is fantastic when you have the opportunity to Sponsor someone into the Catholic Faith. That is very important to be in service to help those investigating the Church. It is a journey that we take with converts and many times I have heard people grow in their faith by being a Sponsor.
However, to be a seed planter, you might find yourself talking with someone who might not have been to Mass in many years, you might meet someone who has not received any of the Sacraments for a long time. You might find yourself talking to someone who has left the Church and joined another. There are a thousand situation you can come across. Most of these times you might run into someone in a chance meeting that occurs only one time.
Recently I took my cat into a local pet store that does clean up and cuts fir and as I was waiting for my cat, I met a lady in the parking lot. Striking up a conversation with her, she was raised a Catholic from Mexico but today she was following a Non-Denominational group. She apparently married into it. After five minutes I was able to share why the Catholic Faith was and is the true Church. She had issues with Saints and I was able to explain the Churches position and the importance. All I could do was to offer a Pinch of Salt and hope that the seed planted would take root.
