ICDT 88: Lectio Divina
Manage episode 411967086 series 1422120
Many of you have likely heard of a way of engaging scripture called Lectio Divina. It is a kind of “Divine Reading.” What I love about Lectio Divina is that it is a slow and formational way of engaging the bible. It can help us move from our heads to our hearts. Lectio Divina is reflective, meditative, receptive and responsive.
Let’s begin with a little Lectio 101, and then I will guide you in the practice as we experience Psalm 73:23-26 together.
The four movements of Lectio Divina are:
- Read (Lectio)
- Reflect (Meditatio)
- Respond (Oratio)
- Rest (Contemplatio)
With Lectio Divina, rather than gathering information, we seek to allow God to meet us in our hearts and minds in a spirit of transformation. We allow ourselves to sink into the passage…to linger…to think, yes, but also to feel and to experience.
