Bible Reading Resources

Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina is a spiritual discipline of meditation on Scripture in which you slowly and prayerfully read and re-read a text in order to listen and apply God’s word to your life. It’s an ancient monastic practice that is used by many Christians today.
Lectio Divina is Latin for the divine reading of Scripture. It was developed by Benedict of Nursia in the 6th Century. In the 12th Century it was formalized by Guigo with four steps of reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation.
In Benedict’s famous Rule for monks (480 – 547) he urges us to listen to God’s word “with the ear of our hearts.”
We’re listening for the living Word of God to speak to our hearts.
