The Advent Quiet Day will be led by Mtr. Posey Krakowsky and meet from 10:30am to 3pm on Saturday, December 9 in the Parish Hall (12 West 11th Street). Please join us for a day of quiet reflection as we enter a season of waiting for the celebration of Christmas – the time of God’s joyous inbreaking into our world. As winter approaches, and the busy times of the holidays can seem rushed and hectic, this is a chance to intentionally slow down and listen — to stillness, to the hush of the natural world, and to God. We will work with both scriptures and contemporary writing, using lectio divina as well as periods of silence. Please bring a bag lunch – coffee, juice and snacks will be available. Suggested donation is $10. For more information, or to register, please email motherposey@ascensionnyc.org, or call the church office at (212) 254-8620.

This week, Mother Liz reflects on Sarah’s laughter when promised a child past child-bearing age and God’s question “Is anything too wonderful for God?” She invites us to keep our hearts open to wonder during challenging times, sharing her delight in the Knicks’ unlikely comeback victory as an example of life’s mysterious wonders. Such experiences remind us to be surprised by the unimaginable and keep working toward justice and joy.
