We will look at the two annunciation stories at the beginning of Luke’s Gospel and see what mission is revealed for the two children promised. These stories have captured the imagination of artists over the centuries; we will look at the artistry of Luke as a story teller of Good News and faithfulness. With the canticles of response to their experience, the humble and righteous Zechariah and the grace filled Mary continue to touch our lives daily and call us into the experience of Advent.
