What is
LECTIO DIVINA?
Lectio Divina,
or Divine Reading, is a prayerful reading of the Word of God integrating all other forms of prayer (thanksgiving, praise, petition prayer, meditation). It is a true dialogue with God in which
God speaks to us first.
Our prayer, our word is ONLY a response to His Word according to what the Holy Spirit enables us to understand.
Praying by listening to the Word of God, is walking in the presence of the Lord who really speaks to us personally and as a group:
- He instructs us,
- helps us to understand,
- questions us,
- invites us to respond and also to question Him in return.
He therefore fills us by
His presence, like when
we are filled by the presence of someone who loves us and that we love.
The Lectio Divina Prayer Group is part of the
✟ LOV Verbum Dei ✟ family, a ministry dedicated to create a network that will enable individuals and groups from parishes to prayerfully connect together by
READING, PRAYING, LIVING the
Word of God.
The prayer group is international as we have members all around the world praying with and for us in Bristol.
