Contemplative Prayer using Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina (Latin for “divine reading”) is a prayerful and reflective way to read God’s word. Rather than seeking an intellectual understanding of the text, the reader seeks instead to engage with the inspirer of the text: God. Reading with the heart is about giving God room to move at the deepest level.

This session is suitable for those familiar with contemplative prayer / lectio divina as well as those who are new or exploring contemplative practice.

The session will begin with a time together where we will settle into the quiet with some reflective music. This will be followed by 30-40 minutes on your own to explore the practice of lectio divina with a passage of scripture. To finish, we will come back together as a group to share what we have noticed during our time of reflection.

The session will be conducted via Zoom.
