Lectio Devina - Father Terry Donahue speaks at Annunciation of the Lord Parish Lent 2012


Lectio divina (Latin for "divine reading") is an ancient method of personal prayer with Sacred Scripture that facilitates a real intimacy with the Lord. It is an ideal integration of reading, vocal prayer, meditation, and listening to the Lord which leads to contemplation. Come learn how to incorporate lectio divina into your own prayer life!

“If this practice [of lectio divina] is promoted with efficacy, I am convinced that it will produce a new spiritual springtime in the Church.” (Pope Benedict XVI )
