6:30pm - 9:00pm Visio Divina: The Birth of Christ Benedict Inn Retreat & Conference Center~ 1402 Southern Avenue “A Light will shine on us this day: the Lord is born for us.” (Psallite #1) Visio Divina is a meditative practice of using visual images to prayerfully reflect upon scripture. It is founded upon ancient monastic practices. Take some time during Advent to spend hearing, seeing, and contemplating the scripture of Christ’s birth found in the Gospel of Luke. We will be using the artistic and spiritual endeavor of the St. John’s Bible, a modern handwritten Bible manuscript that presents Sacred Scripture with beautiful illuminations, for our Visio Divina Fee $30 – Dinner and Reflection Guide included in the price. Facilitator: Sr. Angela Jarboe, OSB Call us at 317.788.7581 Saturday, December 14, 2013
9:00am - 3:00pm Praying with Icons Benedict Inn 1402 Southern Avenue Icons have often been called a "window to heaven" or a way to pray with your eyes. This ancient practice of contemplative prayer focuses on resting in God's presence and letting God speak. One focuses not on what is seen in the icon but what can be seen through it about God's love through what the image visually communicates. Have you ever wondered about the history and process of “writing” an Icon? The beauty and richness of a centuries old process that is intentional, and sacred. The day will be filled with education, reflection, prayer, conversation, and discovery…and so much more! Presenter: Rev. Karen E. Scherer ~ Fee: $45 (includes lunch) benedictinn@benedictinn.org www.benedictinn.org |
