Lectio Divina – Christine Valters Paintner

“Lectio divina is an ancient Christian contemplative prayer practice enjoying a revival among laypeople.  The Latin phrase literally means ‘divine reading.’ The use of the word divine implies that the reading brings us to a kind of closeness with God’s very being rather than with a sacred object one step removed.”
