5th SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME (A)
Reading the Book of Isaiah 58, 7-10
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, collect your house the homeless poor, to cover the one you see without clothing, do not you rob your own flesh? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your strength will return quickly. Your righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of the Lord go with you. So if you call, the Lord will answer and if you cry, he said: "Here I am." If you do remove the yoke from your country, the gesture of threat, the speaking of evil, if you give my heart to that hungry, and if you fill the desires of the unhappy, then your light shall rise in darkness and your darkness be as the light of noon.
reading from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 2, 1-5
Brothers when I 
came home, I'm not here today to announce the mystery of God with the prestige of the human language or wisdom. Among you, I wanted to know anything other than Jesus Christ and him crucified. And it is in weakness and fear and trembling, I arrived home. My language, my proclamation of the Gospel, had nothing to do with the language of wisdom to convince, but it is the Spirit and power that manifested itself, so that your faith does not rest on men's wisdom, but in the power of God.
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5, 13-16
[As the disciples gathered around Jesus on the mountain, he told them:] "You are the salt of the earth. If the salt denatures, wherewith he salt? It is thenceforth good for nothing: it is thrown out and people trample. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill can not be hidden. And it does not light a lamp and put it under a bushel, they put it on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Also, let your light shine before men, then seeing what you're doing good, they give glory to your Father in heaven.
