SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPEL Luke 3:15-16, 21-22 The people were searching and John pointed them in the direction of Jesus. On your life’s journey who have been the John the Baptist people for you, people who have pointed you in the right direction?The Baptism of Jesus was a very special moment for him that affirmed him in his identity as Son of God and in his mission. Recall the experiences that affirmed you – either in your sense of who you are, or in relation to the direction you were taking in life. The Baptism of Jesus marks a transition point in his life, and the start of his public ministry. Recall the transition points in your own life. Where did you see the grace of God at work in those times?This experience of Jesus occurred when he was at prayer. What part has prayer played in opening you to be aware of God in your life? What part has prayer played in helping you through a transition point in your life?
