    What is Lectio Divina?

    In this introductory episode, we explore Lectio Divina, an ancient Christian prayer practice, meaning “divine reading.” Rooted in the early monastic tradition and shaped by figures like St. Benedict of Nursia, Lectio Divina is a slow, contemplative way of praying with Scripture. Rather than studying the Bible for information, this practice invites us to encounter God personally through His Word. Lectio Divina unfolds in four traditional movements: 1. Lectio (Read) – We begin by slowly reading or listening to a short passage of Scripture. The focus is not on analysis but on attentiveness—listening for a word or phrase that stands out or gently captures our attention. 2. Meditatio (Reflect) – Next, we listen again and reflect on that word or phrase. We turn it over in our hearts, asking what God might be saying to us personally through this text. This is a moment of deeper pondering, allowing the Scripture to speak into our lives. 3. Oratio (Respond) – Then we respond to God in prayer. This response may be praise, gratitude, repentance, or a simple conversation flowing naturally from what we have heard in the Word. 4. Contemplatio (Rest) – Finally, we rest quietly in God’s presence. Here, words fall away. We simply remain with Him, allowing His grace to shape us from within. In a world filled with noise and hurry, Lectio Divina offers a gentle rhythm of listening, reflecting, responding, and resting. It reminds us that Scripture is not just a text to be mastered—but a living Word through which God lovingly speaks to the heart. Every day in Lent we will be relapsing a daily script reading alongside a saying of one of the desert fathers.  Daily episodes will begin on Ash Wednesday. If you would like to purchase the accompanying journal you can find it on amazon globally or here.
