Lectio Divina: Evenings of Advent Reflection Tuesdays, December 13th at 6:30pm on Zoom Lectio Divina ~ or Sacred Reading ~ is the slow, repetitive reading of a sacred text that leads one to the ultimate step of resting in God. It is not a Scripture study, nor a spiritual reading. It is an invitation to take a long, loving look at Scripture. During our 45 min time, we will walk through a 4 step process each week using the text for Advent. This practice can be adapted and incorporated into individual prayer life.
