The opening chapters of Luke’s Gospel describe several journeys and contain the account of the annunciation of Jesus ’forthcoming birth as well as the beautiful canticles or hymns, the Magnificat and the Benedictus. These gospel passages relive poetically the expectations of Israel from the Old Testament and invite us to do the same.
This study day is intended as an aid to participants’ preparation for the celebration of Advent and Christmas. Participants are encouraged to read the text and input throughout the day will reflect on its meaning and significance.
