“Lectio Divina” means divine reading in Latin. It’s an ancient practice that teaches us how to read, meditate on and live the Word of God.
There are four phases which will guide us towards an encounter with a personal message from God to us, through the Sacred Scriptures.
The four phases:
the lectio or reading of God’s word;
the meditatio, or meditation on that which we have read;
the oratio, or prayer which is when we enter in dialogue with God;
the contemplatio, or contemplation stage in which we abandon ourselves to holy thoughts.Lectio Divina can be done individually or in a group.
