A Reading from the book of Isaiah;
The LORD spoke to Ahaz saying: Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as the Netherworld, or high as the sky!
But Ahaz answered, “I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!”
Then Isaiah said: Listen, O house of David!
It is not enough for you weary people? Must you also weary my God?
Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign; the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.
The 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.
