“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.
