 n: St. Luke’s Account of the Annunciation During Advent\, we celebrate t
 he mystery of the Incarnation\, that God assumes the beauty and fragility 
 of our humanity in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. To enter that mystery\
 , we will consider St. Luke the evangelist’s story of the Annunciation a
 s presented in his Gospel. The Virgin Mary’s great “yes” to God init
 iates the movement into the mystery. Join Marquette University Chaplain Re
 v. James Flaherty\, S.J.\, as we reflect on how Mary helps us to respond t
 o God’s invitation to us during this Advent Season. Henry Tanner’s pai
 nting of the Annunciation and the poetry of Denise Levertov will also assi
 st us in the reflection. Rev. James Flaherty\, S.J.\, Ph.D.\, University C
