Lectio Divina Resources

In today’s world, people have busy schedules, overwhelming financial expectations, family obligations and feelings of stress and anxiety. The opportunity to be still and encounter God’s Word often feels unattainable. But through the practice of Lectio Divina, participants find space to listen for God’s voice and meditate on Scripture.

Placing a special emphasis on pastors and those involved in parish ministry or catechesis, American Bible Society’s Catholic Ministries offer several resources to help leaders and communities engage with Lectio Divina

“Throughout its history, the people of God have always found strength in the Word of God, and today…the ecclesial community grows by hearing, celebrating and studying that Word.” – Pope Benedict XVI
