A Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah
Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
my Lord has forgotten me.”
“Can a mother forget her infant,
be without tenderness fo the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will not forget you.
Th Word of the Lord
To Proclaim the word of the Gospel takes the reader through the traditional process of reading, meditating, praying, and contemplating bible scriptures.
These readings help the reader explore the sacred texts with greater attention and allow the Word to permeate their mind and imagination more deeply.
In Christianity, Lectio Divina (Latin for "Divine Reading") is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's word.
It does not treat scripture as texts to be studied, but as the living word.
The Lectio Divina Bible Study series is suitable for individual, small group, and parish/church use.
