Introduction to Lectio Divina

Lectio divina (“divine reading”) is a contemplative practice of reading sacred texts. The method involves four successive ways of reading: lectio (read), meditatio (reflect), oratio (respond), contemplatio (rest). In this five-part series (one in-person on Sunday 2/16, and the rest on Wednesday evenings through Zoom), we will practice lectio divina together, drawing on religious and secular texts across traditions and eras, as a practice of sensitizing ourselves to the voice of the divine as it communicates off the page, and in our daily lives.
