Fr. Chris Walsh joins to discuss meditating on Sacred Scripture with Lectio Divina.

• (6:53) How do I get started with Lectio Divina and where is a good setting or place to practice it?

 

• Break 1

 

• (32:22) Lucy - Reading the Psalms has helped me.

 

• (37:10) Dale - Today's Magnificat has a meditation from a saint in the 400's. He goes through analysis of Lectio Divina in today's gospel.

 

• (38:32) Rob - I'm part of a group that meets weekly to review the Sunday Gospel as Lectio Divina. We have been doing this for 20 years.

 

• (42:05) Rick - I am a deacon and the practice you are talking about is wonderful. I do it myself. I teach homiletics. Also, I tend to be a more visual person. Contemplating great artwork is a good thing to do as well.

 

• Father Chris Walsh recommends In Conversation with God by Francis Fernandez-Carvajal, The Catechism of The Catholic Church, the writings of the Saints and even Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict 16 for Lectio Divina.
