Opening Prayer

Lord God, Father of all, in Your Son Jesus Christ
you invite everyone and all to know and love You and to live in Your unending peace.
Keep alive in us the zeal to bring the light of Your truth and the riches of Your life and love to all, without any distinction of race, language or culture.
May everyone on earth come to know You as the merciful Father of all through our brother and Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord.

"Lectio divina," a Latin term, means "divine reading" and describes a way of reading the Scriptures whereby we gradually let go of our own agenda and open ourselves to what God wants to say to us. In the 12th century, a Carthusian monk called Guigo, described the stages which he saw as essential to the practice of Lectio divina. There are various ways of practicing Lectio divina either individually or in groups but Guigo's description remains fundamental.
