Silent Night

Statement:
Rev. Gena Davis, a Benedictine Oblate, hosts weekly
contemplative prayer sessions in her office at Grace Episcopal
Church in Houston. She and a group of church members meet on
Wednesday evenings for meditation, frequently using readings
from the World Community for Christian Meditation. During the
Christmas Eve church service, Rev. Gena used a special candle
as the church went dark for the singing of silent night. The
candle came from her visit to the Church of the Nativity in
Bethlehem. That candle was used to light other candles in the
service.
Bio:
Paula Dittrick is a freelance writer-photographer living in
Houston. She loves nature photography, particularly birds, and
believes nature photography provides an intimacy with God's
creation. Bird photography provides a stillness for prayer and
meditation. Photography of people at worship in church gives
her a different perspective, and she hopes her photographs
convey a sense of wonder and gratefulness. |
