GOSPEL  REFLECTION

The arrest of John the Baptist was the catalyst for the start of the public ministry of Jesus.  The change in circumstances included a change in where he lived.  This was a time when Jesus developed a deeper understanding of his mission in life. Each human person shares the same mission in life: to love God and neighbour. The concrete form this takes is shaped by the free choices we make in the circumstances of our lives.
