Lectio Divina

  • Secretariat Building Room S-1520 (map)

Join our first Lectio Divina session, Tuesday, 28 November (In-Person & Zoom)

The UN Catholic Club is happy to host its first "Lectio Divina" session. The phrase means "divine reading" and represents an ancient Christian practice of praying with Scripture. It became a regular practice in monasteries by the time of St. Benedict in the 6th century. During Lectio Divina, the participants listen to a text from the Scriptures with the “ear of the heart”. The method of Lectio Divina includes moments of reading, reflecting on, responding to and resting in the Word of God.  The interaction among the moments is dynamic and the movement through the moments follows the spontaneous prompting of the Holy Spirit. Lectio Divina cultivates contemplative prayer; it is a participatory, active practice that uses thoughts, feelings and images to enter into a conversation with God. This session is both in person and online via Zoom.
