The Act & Art Of Lectio Divina

This teaching provides a short introduction to the prayerful act and art of Lectio Divina which we hope proves useful to engaging with the resources here. Lectio is the ancient Christian monastic practice of prayer through sacred reading of a text that guides the time of reflection. Mark Gladman (aka Br. Frederick-James, osb) guides you through the traditonal 4 'movements' of Lectio Divina - Lectio, Meditatio, Oratio, and Contemplatio - as well as a fifth later (but implied) addition, Operatio.

I am newer to Lectio, and I was so happy to have found this session! Thank you and Blessings 🕊️✨

Extremely helpful explanation of lectio divina. Thank you!

Such a beautiful piece of work! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I learned so much in these 26 mins. 💚

Thank you for a reflective, practical but divinely inspired description of lectio divina. I believe that Christian believers need to be educated on this practice as in the evangelical sector we are told to "have a quiet time", "spend time in the word", etc but there are no practical instructions on how this should happen. Thank you so much for this and I will visit your teacher page today!
