Lectio Divina

“The grass withers, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand forever.”

Isaiah 40:8

“Careful lectio divina greatly strengthens the brothers’ faith in God. This excellent monastic practice, by which God’s Word is heard and pondered, is a source of prayer and a school of contemplation, where the monk speaks heart to heart with God. For this reason, the brothers are to devote a fitting amount of time each day to such reading.”

Constitution 21
