Have you ever considered the true significance of women in the story of Christ's birth? How two women, Mary and Elizabeth, brought a sense of belonging and community to the narrative? Join us, Shelly Shepherd and Heather Drake, as we embark on a journey through the Advent season, spotlighting the often-underestimated roles of Mary and Elizabeth. We discuss their bond and how their story exemplifies the divine's ability to work through even the most unexpected individuals.
Imagine being a young girl given an immense task by an angel. What if that mission was to carry and birth the Messiah? We delve into Mary's encounter with Gabriel, the conversations she might have had with her cousin Elizabeth, and their shared experience of divine interventions. As we examine Mary's profound acceptance of her role and her powerful words in the Magnificat, we gain a deeper understanding of the feminine spirit of God and the call for all of us to participate with God in shaping the world.
In the often chaotic path of growth and creation, wouldn't it be empowering to embrace confusion and messiness as a necessary part of the journey? This understanding can lead to unique perspectives and co-creation with God. We also shine a light on the ancient texts of Mary and Elizabeth and the spiritual lessons we can learn from them. By the end of our journey, we hope to reveal how each individual plays an irreplaceable role in the divine narrative. So, join us, and let's together learn, grow and appreciate the incredible influence of women in the life of Jesus and the world.
