What is your relationship with Jesus? In some ways, this is not a Catholic question; it can seem too evangelical. In a deeper sense, this is a very Catholic question.
Today's Gospel describes the Baptism of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Rather than a heavenly voice declaring Jesus to be God's beloved Son, it is the human voice of John the Baptist that affirms Jesus to be the Son of God. John's relationship with Jesus enabled him to point out, to witness to the presence of Jesus for others.
Our prayerful reflection today invites us to see how we are called to be John the Baptist in pointing and leading others to experience Jesus in their lives. It is our own relationship with Jesus that enables us to share the light of Christ.
As we know, we cannot share what we do not have. We need to experience the light of Christ within our own spirit so that we share Christ with others. May John the Baptist be our model in leading others to the Lord.
