LECTIO DIVINA is a Benedictine Practice that dates back to ancient times. Its purpose was not to study the Bible but to “listen which the ear of the heart”. It offers an opportunity to quite oneself and be receptive to God, speaking though the Holy Spirit.
 Sr. Catherine OSB says that through Lection Divina “you begin to absorb to put on the heart and mind of Jesus. You’ll begin to act like what you are reading”.
What better ADVENT PREPARATION this year as we welcome through God’s Word the Birth of Jesus. As we support each other, we pray for our families, friends and our world today that God’s Kingdom of peace, love and justice may Reign. May we be born anew!
