As we give and receive presents this year let us be aware of what we are doing — an ancient ritual of affirming peaceful relationships. But Christmas also symbolizes that our existence itself is gift. The best gift of all is God’s full self, wrapped in a human person. This retreat will explore the meaning of gift and how in meditation we are both giving and receiving.
Christmas Eve Vigil
Christmas is a time of gift-giving. A gift is not just a cheap novelty, but something that brings newness, renewing our relationships and changing our way of being. Join us as we await the gift of Jesus’ birth and reflect on the mysteries of the Incarnation.
