The Garaventa Center and Campus Ministry invite all members of the UP community to step away from the frenzy of the season for Visio Divina on Wednesday, December 9, during Advent, at 12:45 p.m., in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher. Visio Divina, which means “sacred seeing,” is an ancient form of contemplative prayer centered on sacred images. It is rooted in monastic tradition. Participants will experience the Divine in images from The Saint John’s Bible, a different one each week. Visio Divina asks only for our silent presence; each session lasts about 30 minutes.
For more information please contact Karen Eifler, Garaventa Center, at eifler@up.edu or Beth Barsotti, Campus Ministry, at barsotti@up.edu.
