Lectio Divina June 2022

Lectio Divina June 2022

Lord our God, Your Son Jesus gave himself totally to those He loved - that is, to all.
Give us a share of His unselfish love that we too may learn from experience that there is more joy in giving ourselves than in receiving honors or favors.
May the Spirit make us also so much one that we graciously share with one another our God-given riches and gifts as people. We ask You this through Christ our Lord.

"Lectio divina," a Latin term, means "divine reading" and describes a way of reading the Scriptures whereby we gradually let go of our own agenda and open ourselves to what God wants to say to us. In the 12th century, a Carthusian monk called Guigo, described the stages which he saw as essential to the practice of Lectio divina. There are various ways of practicing Lectio divina either individually or in groups but Guigo's description remains fundamental.
