“How can this be?”, Mary asked the angel.
Join Convergence on Christmas Eve for a contemplative Creative Prayer. We’ll close the Advent season with a reflection on the “annunciation” of Christ’s coming into our own lives.
This Sunday will feature artwork by Anni Brink, Jenna Higgins, and Rita Hadley.
Anni C. Brink, Annunciation to Mary at Home, 2023.
This advent meditation on the Annunciation is challenging “the notion that the measure of what we can understand, what is readily comprehensible and acceptable to us, is also the measure of God.” (Read Kathleen Norris’ essay on the Annunciation)

How wonderful to celebrate the last Sunday of Advent on Christmas Eve!
Advent is a season of longing. Of preparing our hearts to receive. As people who appreciate the value of silence and contemplation, we get how impactful discipline and serious attention can be.

“ ‘How can this be?’ Mary asked the angel”
(Luke 1:34, NIV)
Join us this Sunday at 5:00 PM EST on Zoom for Advent Creative Prayer as we engage artwork by Anni, Jenna, and Rita, scripture, and visual meditation to contemplate the coming of Christ through the lens of the Annunciation.
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
(Luke 1:38, NIV)
