Grace & Growth through the Scripture

Lectio Divina

Develop your faith: Lectio Divina, (Sacred Reading) is a flexible and easy way to pray, dating back to the early monastic tradition. Bibles were scarce, and not everyone knew how to read, so the monks gathered in chapel to hear a member of the community reading from scripture. In this exercise they were taught and encouraged to listen with their hearts because it was the Word of God that they were hearing. 

You are welcome to join Lectio Divina via zoom.  To receive an invitation to join, please email Fred.  His email address is fred@newrycathedralparish.org
