The biblical motif of a journey is significant: Abraham journeys across the Ancient Near East, Moses and the Hebrews journey across the desert, Jesus journeys to Jerusalem. 

Drawing inspiration from Isaiah 30:21, we decided we would explore how different biblical texts understood what it means to be on a journey—"the Way"—and how that might offer a word of hope as we enter into the time of Advent.

Seán: Walking the Way with Isaiah
Mary: The Psalms in Advent: Food for the Journey
Jessie: Seeing and Following (Mark 8-10)

As we prepare for Christmas during Advent, we invite you to join us for a prayerful, contemplative day of Bible Journalling hosted by Amanda Dillon.

The retreat will begin with a Lectio Divina around the passage of Isaiah 61, before journaling the passage together. If you already own a Journaling Bible, you are most welcome to bring it along to the day.

No previous Bible Journaling or artistic experience necessary and all materials will be provided. 

When: Saturday, 12 December 2026, 10am – 4pm
Where: Mater Dei Room, DCU St Patrick’s Campus Drumcondra
Cost: €35 (bring a packed lunch)
