Lectio Divina
by Fr. Luke Dysinger, O.S.B.
St. Andrew's Abbey


A very ancient art, practiced at one time by all Christians, is the technique known as lectio divina - a slow, contemplative praying of the Scriptures which enables the Bible, the Word of God, to become a means of union with God. This ancient practice has been kept alive in the Christian monastic tradition, and is one of the precious treasures of Benedictine monastics and oblates.

(Fr. Luke Dysinger's full article is available on the St. Andrew's Abbey Lectio Divina Page.)
