What Is Lectio Divina?

Lectio Divina — it literally means "divine reading" or "sacred reading." And if you've never heard of it, this video is your introduction.It's not Bible study. There's no highlighting, no note-taking, no syllabus. Lectio Divina is a slow, prayerful way to encounter Scripture — one that's been practiced in the Church for centuries and that can genuinely change the way you pray.The four steps:📖 Lectio (Reading) — Read slowly. Read it again. Notice what words or phrases are pulling at you.🧘 Meditatio (Meditation) — Sit with those words. Repeat them. Let them settle.🙏 Oratio (Prayer) — Bring them to God. Ask what He's trying to say to you today.🤫 Contemplatio (Contemplation) — Go quiet. Stop talking. This is where you listen.Some people add a fifth step — Actio (Action) — taking what you received and living it out.
