Time with Mary

Time With Mary - An Advent Retreat Morning

Date/Time: Saturday December 7, from 9:00 am to Noon

Location:  In-person @ St. Dunstan's, 3025 264 St Aldergrove, BC

Facilitators: Lorie Martin and Katherine Murray

Mary is known to some as The Mystic Rose. This retreat morning will be a time set aside as we enter Advent, to linger in the radiant and refreshing fragrance of Mary, The God Bearer (Theotokos). We see her contemplative stance in the Gospels where she ponders the mysteries and treasures of God in her heart. Mary choses ‘Here I am… let it be’ as she births Christ in the ‘stuff’ of her life. Together we will deepen our love for Mary, or fall in love with her for the first time, and be awed and awakened by her humility and boldness in our own lives. Lightly guided meditation, art expressions, and community connecting are components of this retreat.
