Lectio Divina is the classical monastic practice of praying with scripture, allowing the word of God to penetrate our hearts and lead us to grow in heart-toheart intimacy with God. Lectio Divina is a source of deep spiritual growth for all of God's people. This practice is truly capable of opening up to the faithful the treasures of God's word, and also of bringing about an encounter with Christ, the living word of God. The diligent reading of scripture accompanied by prayer brings about the intimate dialogue in which the person reading hears God who is speaking, and in praying, responds to God with trusting openness of heart. Come and experience the spirit of the living word.
