New Series for Advent: Four Advent Encounters
This is offered jointly by Farm St RC Church and Grosvenor Chapel. It takes place from next Tuesday, beginning from 9-10pm on Zoom.
There will be a brief liturgy and prayer, a Guided Meditation, and then an opportunity to reflect on your experience in prayer in “break-out rooms” with a facilitator.
Here is the structure:
1.) Nov.22nd, 9pm: Luke 1.8-20 - Story of
Zechariah: “Self-awareness”- recognising the hindrances to responding to God’s love and invitation.
2.) Nov. 29th, 9pm: Luke 1.26 - 38 - Story of Mary: “Self-giving” - responding to Christ’s call.
3.) Dec. 6th, 9pm: Luke 2.25-35 - The Presentation in the Temple & “the sword that pierces your own soul” (cf. Matthew 2.13-18 - The Massacre of the
Innocents): “Self-Sacrifice” - remaining with Christ in his suffering and death / experiencing the depth of Christ’s sacrificial love.
4.) Dec.13th, 9pm: Luke 1.39-55 - The Magnificat & the Songs of Thanksgiving: “Self-understanding” - living with a resurrected spirit of hope and gratefulness / the
unifying reality of God’s love.
