Description

Join us for in person weekly Lectio Divina sessions incorporating scriptural reading, meditation, and prayer. Facilitated by Meg Lectio Divina is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation, and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's Word. It does not treat Scripture as texts to be studied, as the Living Word. In our session of Lectio Divina, the chosen passage from the following Sunday Gospel reading is read, then its meaning is reflected upon. This is followed by prayer and contemplation. Facilitated by About Meg Gottemoeller About the facilitator: Meg Gottemoeller grew up in Ohio and spent her working years in New York and Asia.
