Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina

Spiritual Renewal

We gather in the chapel before the Eucharist.

Centering prayer is a remarkably simple method that opens one to God's gift of contemplative prayer. Its practice expands one's receptivity to the presence and activity of God in one's life.

Lectio Divina is a slow and meditative reading of scripture. A reading made more with the heart than with the mind with no practical aim but simply to allow oneself to be impregnated with the word of God. We are invited to go beyond a rapid study or quick exercise to arrive at a deeper understanding of the unity of our lived experience of our interior attitude and life’s daily activities allowing ourselves to be questioned, challenged, and formed through Lectio and all elements and encounters through the day. We listen to God to carry the contemplative practice of the Presence of God into all activities of the day.
