Advent is just around the corner… the First Sunday of Advent
is November 27th.
“Come, Lord Jesus, Come, Visual Devotions for Advent”,
is a devotional booklet for individuals or small groups that offers written
reflections on images of art from local artists (honored to be a part of this), as well as artists from around the world. Some
are contemporary, present day artists, some from centuries ago.
Art is a great way to open yourself up to the mysteries of
God, to sit in the pocket of them as you gaze and ponder. “Blessed are your
eyes because they see,” Jesus said. Theologians in their own right, artists are
committed to helping us see what was, what is, and what could be. Take
some time this Advent in reading and reflecting on the devotions and art in
this Advent Devotional, image selection and commentary by Victoria Emily Jones.
