The Visitation

The Joyful Mysteries refer to a collection of five meditations in the Rosary. These meditations follow the life of Mary as she accepts Jesus into her very body, visits her relative Elizabeth, gives birth to Jesus, presents Jesus in the temple, and finds Jesus in the temple. This sermon series intends to explore a pattern of creativity toward which this collection of mediations point—a pattern that we can find within our own experiences of creativity. For certainly, the Divine invites us all into creating goodness with our lives. And this goodness can take on many forms, whether that be the creation of an idea, a project, or even a child. It’s our sincere hope that this sermon series nurtures joyful acceptance of that which we’re being invited to create, as well as gratitude, thrill, and ultimately release, by following Mary in sharing our creative expressions with the world.
