Lectio Div Catholic Gospel

Welcome to Lectio Div Catholic Gospel. Part of my daily prayer as a Catholic, lectio divina has helped me grow closer to God and to the way that I practice my faith. There are different methods for doing lectio divina that include reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation. Join me as I use lectio divina as I understand it as a way of reading Scripture and praying through God's word, which leads always into a deeper relationship with him. While I am only a learner, my hope is that your own practice of lectio divina opens wide for you the door...
