A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Zephaniah
Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who have observed his law;
Seek justice, seek humility;
Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger.
But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, Who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD: the remnant of Israel.
They shall do no wrong and speak no lies;
Nor shall there be found in their mouths a deceitful tongue;
They shall pasture and couch their flocks with none to disturb them.
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.
