The Lord's Servant - An Advent Meditation

Dec 13, 2021

We invite you to join us this Advent Season as we prepare our hearts in anticipation of Christ’s birth. Advent is an important rhythm of the Church. As God’s people, we prayerful remember and await the coming of Messiah. The stories and scriptures may be familiar, but there is always more to ponder. In returning and remembering the story of our salvation, we embrace our part of God’s story.

 

This meditation focuses on Mary’s story and her faithful “yes” to the mystery of God. As you listen, consider with fresh insight the courage of Mary. Consider the fear she must have experienced, the vulnerability and disbelief. Ponder her consent and surrender in saying “yes” to the mystery of the Incarnation. And consider, “Where are you being invited to say 'Yes' to the divine appointments in your life?”

 

So find a quiet space, take several deep breaths, perhaps light an advent candle, and become aware of God with you.
