Lectio Divina: Renewing the Ancient Practice of Praying the Scriptures - M. Basil Pennington

Descriere Lectio Divina: Renewing the Ancient Practice of Praying the Scriptures - M. Basil Pennington

This practical guide book for today's Christian describes the time-tested method of praying with the Scriptures for wisdom and guidance and joy. \nLectio divina is letting our Divine Friend speak to us through his inspired and inspiring Word, according to M. Basil Pennington, the late priest, retreat master, and prominent lecturer in the Centering Prayer movement. This ancient Christian practice requires faith, humility, openness, and fidelity. Father Pennington sets the process of praying the Scriptures in the context of meditation, contemplation, compassion, and action. He calls it a way of friendship wherein we pay attention to the love letters from the Lord. Lectio, as a satisfying mental and emotional experience, can be enhanced by reading different translations of the Bible, using commentaries, participating in Bible study groups, and using the resources of Scripture-oriented websites.
