Lectio Divina means sacred reading, and it can be a wonderful way to involve Scripture to meditate and pray to our Creator. It is a worshipful time away with God that helps to build a time of close communion with the Divine. It isn’t a time of pouring a heap of requests at God’s feet, but it’s a time of respectful listening for God, waiting, and allowing God be made known.<\/p>\n

A friend<\/a> of mine from New\u00a0Zealand describes this spiritual practice in simple terms. (click the link) I will add more posts about it myself, later. I thought many of you could benefit from his input. Enjoy a time of lectio divina with your maker soon.<\/p>\n

And please get back to me (leaving a comment, or on the contact page) with what it was like for you (whether positive, negative, or\u00a0neutral).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
