Lectio Divina Online

We invite you to participate with us for Lectio Divina On-line. This practise offers you a short time of concentration and reflection on the Gospel of the day. It is the method used by all Carmelites and also by hundreds of people throughout the world.

"St. Therese of the Child Jesus would have liked to learn the languages of the Bible in order to better understand Sacred Scripture. Following her example and that of St. Jerome, dedicate time to frequent reading of the Bible. By familiarizing yourselves with the Word of God, you will discover Christ and remain in intimate contact with Him." Benedict XVI (14 nov 2007) - This Year's Calendar
