LENTEN LECTIO DIVINA |
| The Center for Contemplative Living opens its doors for the second year at 3650 Yates Street with a focus on Lectio Divina. Lectio Divina is Latin for divine reading and represents a traditional Christian practice of reading Scripture that calls one to listen, reflect, respond, and finally rest in the Word of God. Sacred Scripture, unlike any other book, was written at the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and the same Holy Spirit who dwells within us is the one who inspires our reading. In this prayerful pondering we come to know God, to enter into a deeper realtionship with Him, and to internalize the contemplative values of the Gospel. Praying Scripture is God's message sent to each of us by name. | |

| This class is designed for both those who wish to learn the method of Lectio Divina, and for those who wish to deepen their practice. The theme for the two evenings will be the Paschal Mystery: the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. There will be two periods of Lectio Divina each night, discussion, and sharing. |
