Jesus: Through the Eyes of His Mother
Rev. Judith LyonsIn the season of Advent, we wait. We wait in great anticipation for the arrival of the Christ Child, the baby Jesus, who enters the world fully human and fully divine. For many, it is the divine Jesus they know best, the Jesus of miracles, revelations and resurrection. In this workshop, we will explore the humanity of Jesus as seen through the eyes of his mother. Let us wait with Mary, inspired by images of her from around the globe, past and present. We will let those images help us to imagine the on-going relationship Jesus had with his mother, how she taught him, what he learned from her, how they might have laughed and clashed and loved in the messiness of a human mother/son relationship.
