SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPEL JOHN1:35-42
- John pointed the disciples towards Jesus as the one they should follow. Who were the people in your life who have pointed you in a new and life-giving direction? Perhaps in some cases this may have involved directing you away from your association with them – eg. leaving home, changing jobs, etc.
- Jesus invited the disciples to come and see how he lived. How have you come to learn how Jesus lived, and what he was looking for in life? How has this attracted you to follow him?
- What is your experience of gathering in small groups to learn to live like Jesus by listening to the gospel together? Where two or three are gathered in his name, Jesus is there with them. What group experiences have helped your faith to grow?
- Andrew did not keep the good news to himself but also invited his brother to join him in following Jesus. What is your experience of receiving, or giving, an invitation to join in some worthwhile venture?
ATTENDING MASS: When attending Mass, you will be asked to leave your name and contact details if you have not previously done so.
