A special episode for the Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist, Midsummer day! Our texts are Isaiah 40:1–11, Psalm 85:7–13, Acts 13:14b–26, and Luke 1:57–80. We also engage two poems, the 9th C Old Irish poem, "The Hermit's Song," and Mary Oliver's Poem 133, "The Summer Day."

A guide to praying with the virtual lectio can be found here.
