Advent Quiet Day: Unexpected Questions
A Conducted Quiet Day at St Mary’s Convent
With Mthr Lucie Spiers
God frequently interrupts human narratives with unsettling, disruptive, and transformative moments. The season of Advent challenges assumptions and asks questions that reveal God in unexpected places. We will use scripture and literature to explore some of these questions, reflecting on where God may be asking unexpected questions of us in our own lives, and how we might respond with openness.
