I am working through the process of learning Lectio Divina with Christine Valters as my guide these next twelve weeks. It is summarized as praying Scripture. How poetic are those two words for me.
The Scripture today is from Isaiah 48: 6-7. Perhaps I can memorize these five lines.
Which phrase "shimmers" for you? Meditate on that phrase, these words. God is speaking to you, to me as we listen and are attentive to what comes in our thoughts.
What is your invite? What is my invite?
What stirs within your heart?
The practice of Lectio Divina is ancient and the interest in our current days for spiritual awakening is emerging, I believe.
Let us practice this simple art together as we work through this class I am taking with Abbey of the Arts.
Now I am revealing new things to you
Things hidden and unknown to you
Created just now, this very moment.
Of these things you have heard nothing until now.
So that you cannot say, Oh yes, I knew this.
(Isaiah 48:6-7 - Jerusalem Bible translation)
Peace and blessings to you this early Tuesday morning!
