the Season of Pentecost
Icons and Saints: A Summer Journey in Seeing
Ancient Images, Living Wisdom, and the Soul’s Unfolding
Many of us learned faith through scripture, hymns, and stories. This summer, we’ll discover another way Christians have shared the gospel: through images. Together we’ll explore ancient icons and the sacred symbols hidden within them—halos, colours, gestures, light, and unexpected details that tell stories of faith, hope, courage, and love. Through the lives of Francis, Hildegard, Teresa, Julian, Mary, and Jesus, we’ll learn to see with fresh eyes and uncover wisdom that still speaks to us today. Join us as we explore ancient images, living faith, and the soul’s unfolding.
Saints
week by week:
Francis — Seeing the Sacred in Creation
Hildegard — Seeing the World Aflame with God
Teresa — Seeing the Soul as a Dwelling Place
Julian — Seeing Hope in Difficult Times
Mary — Seeing Possibility Through Trust
Jesus — Seeing the World Through Love
“Each week we read a different icon—not as decoration, but as a doorway. Ancient images. Living questions. A faith still being painted into us.”
