Lectio on Life

Lectio On Life


The lectio divina process is applicable to more than scripture.

Lectio on Life

  1. Pick an event in your life -- it can be something that has happened recently or a memory from long ago. Choose an event or memory that touches your heart in the same way that a word or phrase would in scriptural lectio divina.


  3. Ask yourself where God was present or absent in this experience. Did you feel God's presence at the time? or was it not evident until later?

  4. Offer the event to God and rest in the silence and peace of God's presence. How is God calling you forth into doing or being through this experience? Allow God to use this encounter to touch you, shape you in your life today.

Before you return to your activities, spend a few more moments in meditation. If you keep a journal, make some notes about this time with God. When you are finished, go in God's peace and love.
