Gospel of 12 June 2018

First book of Kings 17,7-16.
In those days, the stream where Elijah had hidden himself dried up, because it did not rain on the region.
The Lord spoke to him and said:
“Get up, go to Sidare's Zarepta and settle there. Here I have given order to a widow over there for your food. "
He got up and went to Zarepta. Entering the city gate, a widow was gathering wood. He called her and said, "Take some water from me in a jar for me to drink."
While she was going to get it, she shouted: "Take me a piece of bread too."
She replied: “For the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing cooked, but only a handful of flour in the jar and some oil in the jar; now I collect two pieces of wood, afterwards I will go to cook it for myself and my son: we will eat it and then we will die ”.
Elijah said to her: “Do not be afraid; come on, do as you said, but first prepare a small focaccia for me and bring it to me; so you will prepare some for yourself and your son,
for the Lord says: The flour of the jar will not run out and the jar of oil will not empty until the Lord rains on the earth. "
That went and did as Elijah had said. They ate it, he and her son for several days.
The flour of the jar did not fail and the jar of oil did not diminish, according to the word that the Lord had spoken through Elijah.

Psalms 4,2-3.4-5.7-8.
When I invoke you, answer me, God, my justice:
out of anguish you freed me;
have mercy on me, listen to my prayer.
How long will you be hard of heart, O men?
Because you love vain things
and are you looking for lies?

Know that the Lord does wonders for his faithful:
the Lord listens to me when I invoke him.
Tremble and do not sin,
on your bed reflect and calm down.

Many say: "Who will show us the good?".
May the light of your face shine upon us, Lord.
You put more joy in my heart
of when wine and wheat abound.

From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Matthew 5,13-16.
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, with what can it be made salty? Nothing else is needed to be thrown away and trampled by men.
You are the light of the world; a city located on a mountain cannot be hidden,
nor is a lamp lit to put it under a bushel, but above the lamp to make light for all who are in the house.
So let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. "
