In the midst of our day we Bless our Lord. Such a rich time of prioritizing Him. The Lord’s Prayer is always beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you Mark. This has been very helpful since I’ve been struggling with reading Richar Rohr’s The Universal Christ. Since practicing Lectio Devina as you have outlined in this course, I feel as if I’m finally receiving the text in a way that’s helpful and enlightening.

Thank you for this simple contemplation. My heart resonated with the heart of this prayer more and more after each reading.

Thank you 🙏🏾 for this practice. I believe communal confession in the Protestant tradition is more than you intimate as long as they are words that come from the heart. As a retired pastor I can tell you that there is plenty of confession that happens 1-1 as well. Abundant blessings

This is probably the first Psalm I learned as a child. Bringing the process of Lectio Divina to it makes it come more alive. Raised questions for me and helped me notice things I hadn't before. Than you. I look forward to listening to another lectio meditation from you. 🙏🏻 Addendum: I have felt drawn to listen to this lectio several times amidst what is happening in my country. We are collectively walking through the valley of the shadow of death here in the U.S. Thank you again for posting this. It helps regulate my nervous system bringing me calm amidst the chaos. 🙏🏻
