Lectio Divina Process:
1st reading: Read: Listen for the overall sense of the passage. Notice a word or phrase that most captures your attention as you listen, as though the Holy Spirit were flashing a light from the text to your heart, asking you to notice it. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, allow your eyes to be opened and your heart to be melted as God speaks to you. If you choose, simply share the word or phrase with the group.
2nd reading: Reflect- Listen for the feelings, sensations and connections that God's Word stirs in you. If you want, share a connection you sense between the passage and this particular moment in your life.
3rd reading: Respond- Listen to your own heart for something that you want to express to God in response to the meanings and observations you are hearing. If you desire, share a reverent gratitude, petition or lament that you would like God and your siblings gathered with you to hear.
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. for thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever and ever. Amen.
- Lord of the feast, Life-giving God, heal our lives, and open our eyes, that we may rejoice in your wonderful deeds and offer you thanks from generation to generation. You have prepared a table before all peoples and poured out life with such abundance that death cannot claim the triumph over your universe.
Call us again to your banquet where we may receive your holy food, and strengthened by what is honorable, just, and pure, may we be transformed into a people of righteousness and peace. we ask that you help us love one another through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
