Motifs to Establish Frameworks for Socio-Political Involvement
Motifs to Establish Frameworks for Socio-Political Involvement
by John Jurado
There
are two broad fundamentals that we need to understand before seeking
ways to shape values in society. At times we feel the needs to confront a
particular value, decision or priority adopted by the community. We
want to make a difference, we want to be the "salt and light" of the
world. We know that we need to get involved in our society, fellowmen and
in our country.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Mt 5:13-16
