Suggested daily Lectio divina - Week of July 13, 2014
- Find a comfortable and quiet place to sit. Let the cares and worries of the day melt away.
- Step one (Lectio): Read the scripture passage of the day slowly and attentively several times. You may want to jot down words or phrases that seem to stand out to you.
- Step two (Meditatio): Ponder or meditate on a word or phrase that caught your attention in your first readings of the text. Think about how it speaks to your life right now.
- Step three (Oratio): Oratio is your response to God. Speak to God from your heart about what you discover in the text. You may desire to seek God’s forgiveness, healing, or guidance.
- Step four (Contemplatio): Joyfully rest in God’s presence. Offer back to God your loving focus and attention with a heart full of gratitude. End with a closing prayer such as the Lord’s Prayer.
- Step five (optional): Share online by posting a comment (below).
