The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A highlights the call to care for others and shine in the world. The readings show how kindness, faith, and good actions bring light and hope.

• Helping those in need: Giving food, shelter, and clothing to others brings healing and joy. When people help those who suffer, they find peace and feel closer to God.

• Living by faith: Faith should rest on God’s power, not on human knowledge. Trusting in Him gives strength, even when feeling weak.

• Being a light: Jesus calls people to shine by doing good. When others see kindness and love, they are drawn closer to God.

• Making a difference: Just as salt changes food, people can change the world. Small acts of goodness bring hope and encouragement.

• Showing God’s love: Faith is not just words but actions. Loving others reflects God’s goodness in everyday life.

• Overcoming fear with trust: Weakness and fear should not stop people from sharing their faith. Trusting in God’s help brings courage.

• Glorifying God: Good works should not be done for attention. They should point others to God and His goodness.

The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds people to share, trust, and shine. When they live with kindness and faith, they bring hope to the world.
