We believe that the point made is that relating to the use of the gift received
And what is this gift?

The Pope tells us that this wisdom is what gives depth and texture, flavor that is, the man who follows Christ.
2) The Light of the Christian as intelligence, affection and taste like salt-embrace the world he created as the result of participation and the thickness strasfigurante attention to those who have been attacked by the evil of the disease for which the compassion of Christ is his total identification until the foretaste and then participate in his own resurrection.
BENEDICT XVI
ANGELUS
St. Peter's Square Sunday, Feb. 6, 2011
Dear brothers and sisters!
In this Sunday's Gospel the Lord Jesus tells his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth ... You are the light of the world" (Mt 5,13.14). Through these images full of meaning, he wants to convey to them the meaning of their mission and their testimony. The salt in the culture Middle East, it evokes different values \u200b\u200bof the alliance, solidarity, life and wisdom. Light is the first work of God the Creator and the source of life, the same Word of God is compared to light, as the Psalmist proclaims: "a lamp to my feet Your word is a light to my path" (Ps 119:105). And always in today's liturgy the prophet Isaiah says, "If you open your heart to the hungry, if sazierai the afflicted of heart, then shine your light in the darkness, your darkness will be as the noonday" (58, 10). Wisdom embodies the beneficial effects of salt and light fact, the Lord's disciples are called to give new "flavor" to the world, and to preserve it from corruption, with the wisdom of God, fully that shines on the face of the Son, because He is the "true light that enlightens every man" ( Jn 1:9). United with him, Christians can spread through the darkness of indifference and selfishness the light of God's true wisdom that gives life meaning and doing of men.
On 11 February, memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, we celebrate the World Day of the Sick. It is occasion to reflect, to pray and to increase the sensitivity of the ecclesial community and civil society towards the brothers and sisters who are sick. In Message for this Day, inspired by an expression of First Letter of Peter: "By his wounds you were healed" (2:24) invite everyone to contemplate Jesus, the Son of God, who has suffered, died, but rose again. God is diametrically opposed to the power of evil. The Lord cares for every situation, it shares the pain and opens the heart to hope. I therefore urge all health workers to recognize nell'ammalato not only a body marked by weakness, but first of all a person to whom to donate all the solidarity and provide appropriate responses and competent. In this context, recall also that in Italy today marks the "Day for Life". I hope that all should strive to grow the culture of life, to put the center in all circumstances, the value of human beings. According to the faith and the reason for the dignity of the person is irreducible to its faculties or capabilities that may occur, and therefore does not end when the person himself is weak, disabled and in need of help.
Dear brothers and sisters, let us invoke the maternal intercession of the Virgin Mary, so that parents, grandparents, teachers, the priests and those engaged in educating the younger generation may be the wisdom of the heart, for they reach the fullness of life.
After the Angelus:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,

a cordial greeting to the delegation of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Rome, accompanied by the Cardinal Vicar, at the conference sponsored by Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology on the subject of health care in pregnancy. When the scientific and technological research is driven by genuine ethical values \u200b\u200bcan find appropriate solutions for the warmth of unborn life and the promotion of motherhood. I hope that new generations of health care are the bearers of a renewed culture of life. Je salue

I cordially greet all the German guests. The Gospel of this Sunday reflects a portion of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus. Christ speaks to the people who follow him, and calls it "light of the world" (Mt 5:14). A city set on the mountain can not be hidden, he says. It is also necessary to follow Christ visible and brooks no retreat. Let us ask the Lord to make us faithful witnesses, that the truth Christi Liebe und die in der Welt verbreiten. Herr der Stärke und euch eure Familien mit seiner Gnade.
