Lectio Divina

​
Lectio Divina is a Latin term meaning "divine reading."  It describes a method of reading the scriptures where we open ourselves to what God is saying to us in the present moment.

There are four "stages" in Lectio Divina:
  • Lectio (reading):  Read the Word of God slowly and reflectively
  • Meditatio (reflection):  Think about the text and reflect in order to receive what God intends to give us
  • Oratio (response):  Stop thinking and allow your heart to speak to God
  • Contemplatio (rest):  Let go of ideas, thoughts and meditations (including holy ones!) and rest in God's word; listen to God's voice

At first try, you may find this difficult.  But fidelity to this prayer form will lead to a deeper prayer relationship with God.
