Spiritual Reading Psalm 23

This practice is a reception of what Psalm 23:1 has to teach you, and bring to you in your life at this moment. It is a slow dance between Scripture, God and Silence. Both contemplative prayer, and meditation, are included in this practice.

Transcript

Welcome to this Lexio Divina,

A practice of spiritual reading.

The roots of spiritual reflection and interpretation go back to the third century.

The monastic practice of Lexio Divina was first established in the sixth century by Saint Benedict and then was formalized as a four-step process during the 12th century.

The practice begins with reading and then meditation,

Prayer,

And contemplation.

I invite you to quiet your mind and open your heart to spirits moving through this short scripture.

Reading.

We will slowly read the scripture passage several times.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

I shall not want.

Contemplation.
