Lectio divina or holy reading is a slow reflective method of praying the Bible. Through contemplating on a passage from the Bible and allowing it to enter into our daily life, this way of reading the Bible invites us to discover an underlying spiritual rhythm. Attuned to this rhythm we have the opportunity to discover a little more about ourselves and our relationship with God.

This session is informed by a booklet called “Lectio Divina; Praying the Scriptures in Lent and Holy Week, 2011”, prepared by Bishop David Walker, the Emeritus Bishop of Broken Bay Diocese, north of Sydney.
