Have you ever heard of praying the scriptures?
Lectio Divina (Latin for ‘divine reading’) is an ancient Christian spiritual discipline that was practiced by some of the earliest Christians. Through this practice, Christians believed the Holy Spirit would speak to them through the scriptures and that it was a meaningful way to commune with God. Primarily practiced in monastic communities, Lectio Divina has survived for two thousand years.
During the past 50-75 years, the practice of Lectio Divina has experienced a revival, resulting in increased use among clergy and laity. Lectio Divina is a spiritual discipline which allows you to integrate biblical meditation, prayer, and contemplation in order to grow and deepen your relationship with God. Both Catholics and Protestants have rediscovered this ancient practice.
This eBook provides a brief introduction to Lectio Divina. A short history is provided as well as instruction on how to practice Lectio Divina.
