I wonder what you make of the image above? I think these sculptures or babies inside uteri are beautiful. Created by artist Damien Hirst, and installed at a women's hopsital in Qatar thet are controversial.
A bit like the incarnation, really.
Today, the study guide moves on into what it terms "The First Coming" and focusses on the annunication to Mary.
Here's the prayer offered:
Christ Jesus, as you grew in the womb of Mary, the incarnation began to come about. As I contemplate the significance and importance of thisd act, expand my understanding of your stepping out of glory, and of your willingness to step into this feeble, restricted form. Amen.

Thank you, Catriona. I never thought I would find anything Damien Hirst created beautiful, but these babies fit that descriptio; beautiful.. Well done, him. And curiously in line with your Celtic theme for they have a look of Celtic swirls and intertwining loops. They would make lovely alternative Christmas and New Baby cards...at least I think so.
