Lectio Divina (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
In Christianity, Lectio Divina (Latin for "Divine Reading") is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's Word. It does not treat Scripture as texts to be studied, but as the Living Word.
Thanks to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for providing us with Lectio Divinas for numerous significant times of the Liturgical year.
