D— Devotional Reading

The practice of ‘lecto divina’ means divine reading. Begin with a short writing that is special to you.


Read: Read silently or out loud. Notice a word, phrase, or image that stands out. Read again.

Reflect: Hold that word in your mind. Ask why it is special.

Respond: With a prayer or question.

Rest: Sit quietly with what you have found.

Remember: Hold in mind what you are learning.


May wisdom stay with me, to guide care and repair.
