Into the Light With Mary
Presenter: Mother Hilda Scott OSB, Retired Abbess, Jamberoo Abbey
The traditional thinking around Advent concerns the coming of light in the person of God, Jesus Christ.
Much is made of this in the Northern Hemisphere where the days are getting shorter and darker, so naturally they are looking for light.
But here in Australia the days are getting longer and lighter so what are we to make of our own personal longing for light? Of our own darkness? How are we to find a way through Advent and indeed life itself?
That will be the subject of our time together and we will do this with the guidance of Mary, who knows us, our own darkness and the hope of the Australian light so very well.
