Luke 1:46-55

Third Sunday in Advent

Advent Theme: "The Shape of Waiting" -- We are in the season of waitiin. What is the shape of our waiting? What do we hear from characters in the Bible who knew something about waiting?-.

This Advent, our journey to Christmas will be accompanied by the words of Hildegard of Bingen. She was a Benedictine Abbess and a mystic from the Middle Ages whose books, liturgical drama, scientific texts, songs and poems, essays and letters continue to inspire. This year, Hildegard’s writings and hymns will offer us a different viewpoint of the story of Jesus’ birth. This Sunday, the third week of Advent, the focus is on Justice to inspire us to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
