Lectio Divina (Reading Scripture)
What is it?
Lectio Divina is a way to use Scripture to engage in a conversation with God and to reflect on how God's word connects with your daily life.
How do I do this?
* Find a quiet place where you can relax
* Pick a passage from Scripture
* Read the selected Scripture passage slowly
* Read the passage a second time and be aware of any words or phrase that draws your attention.
* Ask:
o Does a word or phrase connect with my personal experience?
o How do I feel as I read the words?
o What images or memories surfaced that I need to be with for a moment?
* Read the passage a third time.
* Ask:
o What do the words and images mean for my life?
o What do they mean for my relationship with God?
* Enter into a conversation with God.
*Write down your word or phrase and remember it during the next few days
