The theme for this day invites us to reflect on the meaning of the Incarnation, of God’s choice not only to be ‘God For Us,’ but also ‘God With Us’ (Emmanuel) In keeping with the theme of Metanoia: Let our Minds be Remade, this presentation is an opportunity to develop a spirituality of ongoing conversion, especially during the season of Advent.

At a time when it can be difficult to see the light of Christ in our communities and world, a renewed understanding of the Incarnation offers us spiritual inspiration and hope.
