This exercise should be experienced between December 18 and 21.
We are now entering into phase 2 of the retreat during which we will contemplate the life of Jesus. As I mentioned earlier, if non-Christians feel moved to do so, you can contemplate the life of Jesus as a great spiritual teacher. Obviously, Christians will contemplate the life of Jesus, the Messiah and God-man.
First, ask God for the grace to feel Mary's courage and joy as she trusts God's invitation to bear God's son.
Read Luke 1:26-38.
Read the passage again using your imagination to enter into the scene. For this prayer period, I will leave the direction open and let the Holy Spirit give you the pointers.
Note moments of insight (consolation) in your prayer journal.
Close with your own prayer.
