Bible Reading -Lectio Divina

TO PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS, SET THE CAPTIVES FREE ETC

Lectio Divina - A way of reading Scripture:

Listening for Christ the Word 1) Reading: One person reads aloud the

passage of scripture, as others listen for the word or phrase that is especially meaningful for them.

2) Silence for two minutes. Each person hears and silently repeats a word or a phrase that has attracted them.

3) Sharing aloud each may make a single sentence statement of the word or phrase that has attracted them. No elaboration.

  How Christ the Word speaks to me 4) Second Reading of the same passage by

another person. 5) Silence for two minutes reflecting on “How

does the content of this reading touch my life today?”

6) Sharing aloud, briefly, beginning “I hear...” or “I see...”

  What Christ the Word is inviting me to do 7) Third Reading of same passage by

another person. 8) Silence for two minutes reflecting on “I

believe that God wants me to be or do today/during this camp?”

9) Sharing aloud the result of each person’s reflection. Be especially aware of what is shared by the person on your right.

10) After sharing, in turn, pray for the person on your right

Important note. Anyone may say “pass” at any time. If instead of sharing with the group you prefer to pray silently, simply state this aloud and conclude your silent prayer with ‘Amen’

Poster 11) Write down some of the

significant words or phrases used during your reflection and discuss images that come to mind

12) As a group create a poster using these images around the theme of the module you are exploring at this session, e.g. Telling Our Story

Luke 4:13

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,To release the oppressed,To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour. “
