Mt. 6:19-23: “If your eye is healthy, your whole body is enlightened.”

Jesus told us at the end of the Beatitudes: “You are the light of the world”. Thus he urged us to live in the spirit of that sermon He has just preached by looking at the crowd that listened to him, in contrast to so many who were scandalized by his words and his works. Today it tells us that we need to look at what illuminates us from within, with what light we look at reality and what light we project, because if we see everything as black, how can we illuminate? If in our hearts there is only negativity and darkness, how can we see clearly? It is not a matter of working to be seen, but rather of seeing with God’s eyes and working in such a way that those who see our good works will discover God’s face there.
