There are several beautiful images to enjoy and contemplate in this series. If you’d like to use a spiritual practice to reflect on them in a deeper way, consider the centering practice of “Visio Divina.” This is the practice of contemplating an image and listening for the Spirit. It’s simple, and here’s how it works:

Spend a minute or two looking at the image. Then ask yourself these questions.

What draws your eye in the image?

What is the image pulling out of you?

What is the Spirit saying about the work of Advent-waiting through this image?

Don’t rush this. Take your time, and allow the image and the questions to drop into your heart and spirit. Journal about what arises for you during the practice.
