Via Lucis: In the Presence of Saint Joseph
Via Lucis: in the Presence of Saint Joseph celebrates and highlights the most glorious time in the Christian liturgical year: the fifty days from Easter to Pentecost. This Via Lucis journey adds light to Scripture with the dimension of artwork and encountering an imagined Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, becomes present in a what-would-he-say style by observing, commenting, and conversing about the Scripture and artwork for each encounter. He walks with you from Jesus’ Resurrection through Ascension. Brief meditations and thought-provoking questions are included for group discussion or individual contemplation in eighteen encounters. It is the first in an annual series of Via Lucis: in the Presence of fictional encounters with saints and early Christian leaders.
