The task of giving
an authentic
interpretation of
the Word of God
has been entrusted
to the living
teaching office of
the Church alone.
Lectio Divina
(Personal Reading of the Bible)
Reading the sacred text for
inspiration. It is a reflection on
the Bible for spiritual growth.
This is a personal endeavor, best
done alone, as contrast to
communal Bible sharing. You
can read a passage from the
Bible every day or even a few
lines approaching the Bible
truly as the Word of God and
accepts it in faith.
Steps:
1.Lectio. Read the
text. What is the
common sense idea
of the text? What
does it mean? What
story does it tell?
What does it tell to
any ordinary
reader?
2. Meditatio.
React to the
text. What is
it telling me
in particular?
What word
(s) or phrase
in the text
strikes a vital
chord in me?
3. Oratio. Pray.
Converse with
Jesus about this
striking word(s)
or phrase.
Wrestle with the
Word. Tell Jesus
your difficulties
if you were to live
out His word.
4. Actio. Discern
what God wants
from you and
resolve to do
something
concrete about
what youve
prayed about.
5. Contemplatio. Go
into quiet. You
have already
presented your
case before the
Lord. Now,
simply listen.
Allow the Lord to
give you spiritual
insight about the
text Let God work
in you.
