Lectio Divina

Picture

How do I pray with Lectio Divina?

Don't let these fancy Latin terms keep you from giving Lectio Divina a try. Go through these four steps, and see below for great bible passage suggestions.

Lectio-  "Read"
  • Read several times, be attentive to detail
  • Note what stands out to you
  • Work to understand meaning and background

Meditatio-  "Meditate"
  • Think about the reading and connect it to your life
  • Imagine being present to hear the passage or witness the story

Contemplatio-  "Contemplate"
  • Quiet expression of love between you and God
  • Note what God is saying to you through the passage and time of prayer

Oratio- "Pray"
  • Dialogue with God in prayer about the passage
  • Thank God for the Word and ask God to guide you to deeper understanding

Lectio Divina | "Teach Us to Pray" Episode 6

In Luke 11, the disciples say to Jesus, "Teach Us to Pray". In this video series on prayer, we hope to share with you many forms of prayer that you might try out and perhaps adopt into your own intentional prayer practice. Maybe you've always wanted to know more about the Ignatian Examen but didn't know where to start. Or maybe you have been praying the Daily Office for decades and are looking for something new! We hope that through this series you might discover a new spiritual practice or reignite an already familiar practice that brings you closer to God!

Episode 6: Lectio Divina
​Joslyn and Madison explore the practice of Lectio Divina together using a passage from John chapter 10.
