Today is the Memorial of St. Anthony of Padua. In the Gospel reading from Matthew 5, Jesus said to his disciples: "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." So it's not just we get ourselves saved, we must be useful to the heavenly Father by doing good deeds to glorify him.
