Lectio Divina

Last week, meeting with a group of newly accredited ministers, Mary spoke to us about Lectio Divina. It was a stimulating session, which culminated in an experience of:

• reading receptively
• meditating reflectively
• prayerfully responding
• contemplatively resting

I loved the quote with which she began:

'We read under the eye of God until the heart is touched and leaps to flame'.  (Abbot Marmion, Sixth Century Benedictine)
