Encountering God in Holy Scripture: An Introduction to the Ancient Tradition of Lectio Divina (Lectio Divina Prayer Journal Series Volume 1)

By Katherine Mills Johnson

Are you a Catholic who desires to grow in your faith? Do you long to grow closer to God in prayer? When you read Scripture do you yearn for God to speak to you in a personal way? Do you desire to be transformed more and more into the image of Christ? The disciples on the Emmaus road had their lives changed and their hearts set on fire as Jesus explained the Scriptures to them. For centuries, Christians have encountered the Lord through the ancient tradition of prayer and Scripture reading known as lectio divina. This kind of prayer is a powerful way to experience what the early disciples did as they walked and talked with Jesus, the Living Word.This Prayer Journal is designed to be a practical, hands-on introduction to lectio divina for Catholics. A brief description of this kind of prayer is followed by a journal-style guide which gives the reader opportunity to practice with carefully chosen short Scripture passages. Additional Scriptures, quotes, and more in-depth explanations of the four stages of lectio divina are also provided in order to help make this type of prayer accessible to everyone. This introductory guide is designed for anyone who desires to grow in prayer and draw closer to our Lord.
