In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss how one can pray with Scripture. Fr. Rob shares the Benedictine method, commonly known as Lectio Divina for scriptural prayer. Lectio Divina is Latin for Divine Reading. In Lectio Divina, one chooses a short passage and meditates and contemplates what stuck out to them. Fr. George shares the Carmelite method where one rereads a scripture passage to become familiar with it. They then examine the passage from different perspectives. Finally, they move into meditation, then contemplation. As a bonus, they discuss the Jesuit method of scriptural prayer where one imagines themselves as a witness in the passage's story.



Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George discussed the role the Holy Spirit plays in the Sacraments. More specifically, Fr. Rob focuses on the role of the Spirit in Scripture readings during the Sacraments. They emphasize the impact having a personal view of Scripture can have. One can use scripture to pray and understand that God speaks to them through the Scriptures and it is a fulfillment of God’s promise to send the Spirit and then save God’s people. We build trust with God as we encounter him in Scripture and the Sacraments of the Church. Perhaps this coming week, pray with Scripture using the Lectio Divina method.
