Advent Story at the Rectory- redesigned for home practice

Encountering Jesus in the Gospel according to Luke – a self-directed Quiet Day

Advent marks the beginning of a new liturgical year and new lectionary year, focusing on the Gospel according to Luke

Take your Bible and a cup of tea or coffee to a comfortable spot.  Have paper and pencil handy so that you can make notes or draw.

Begin with a prayer, offering this time to God and asking for ears to hear the Word of God anew.

Watch the Bible Project video: Luke:1-9

Read Luke 1 -9.

Take 20-30 minutes to reflect on what you read.  Use these questions and whatever means of capturing your thoughts you prefer:

  • How are you feeling?
  • What struck you most forcefully?
  • What surprised you?

Watch the Bible Project video: Luke 10-24

Read Luke 10-24

Again, take 20-30 minutes to reflect on what you read.  Use these questions and whatever means of capturing your thoughts you prefer:

  • How are you feeling?  Has it changed?
  • What struck you most forcefully?
  • What surprised you?
  • Have any of your thoughts changed?
  • To what is Jesus calling you through this Gospel?

Close in prayer, giving thanks for the gift of the Gospel according to Luke and for Jesus, whom God gave to the world out of the depths of perfect love.
