LECTIO DIVINA

This method of prayer was adopted in the early Christian monastic era. The literal translation is “Divine reading”. This practice involves living the following moments, which lead into interfaith Centering Prayer:

​

1. Lectio – Reading sacred texts and allowing a word or phrase to arise.

2. Meditatio – Reflecting on that word or phrase.

3. Oratio – Speaking to God about your reflection.

4. Contemplatio – Resting in God without thoughts.
