how to #pictureadvent

Welcome to #pictureAdvent 2024. We are pleased to offer a daily devotional through Advent that is created to help you and your family prepare your hearts and homes for Christmas. This daily resource invites you to reflect on scripture with your eyes and hearts using Visio Divina (Latin for "divine seeing"). This is a method for praying with images or other media. Every day you will receive an e-mail with an invitation to:

• View: Look at the images. What do you notice? What is your eye drawn to?
• Read: Daily Scripture
• Breath Prayer
  

Our prayer is that in this wondering space you will experience the Holy Spirit as you open your hearts and homes to the beauty of this season.​

Steps for picturing advent:

• Subscribe to #pictureadvent at pictureadvent.com
• Starting on December 1st, move through the daily devotional playlist as you take time to view, read, and pray. You might choose to do this as an individual, a family, or in community.
• Find a way to respond:
  • Capture and share your own pictures as you continue to reflect on the daily scripture and images
  • Post your pictures via social media (If/when posting pictures of minors make sure you have permission to use their photos) with #pictureadvent
• Follow #pictureadvent and see how others around the world are connecting to God during this Holy time.
