Lectio Divina - English (November 2010 - February 2011)

It can be hard to find time to speak to God when your day is full of work, family and the pressures of daily life.

Lectio Divina is a dynamic way of reading the Holy Scriptures which has been around since AD 300.

By following the four-step approach:

  • Reading
  • Meditation
  • Prayer
  • Contemplation

you will eventually start hearing God's voice.

Lectio Divina invites you to savour and mull over God's words quietly, slowly and intently until you begin to respond to what God is saying.

It helps you build that vital bridge between your encounters with God and everyday life with its joys, humdrum and challenges.

Bible Society offers you a year-long series of potentially life-changing encounters based on the Sunday Mass readings for Matthew.

Each one is free to download and contains a guide to using the Lectio Divina four-step approach.
