Lectio Divina is a slow, prayerful reading of Scripture that moves through four movements toward rest in God, and then out into action. It is not study and it is not analysis. It is a listening: we let the text read us.

The full guide, with the steps, gentle reminders and a worked example, lives on Spiritual Break.
