God's presence in nature and the sound of birds, the shapes of trees, patterns of things.
Jim FinleyHOST
And so her poetry is kind of a Lectio Divina, is a kind of a spiritual reading helping us to see and experience and move with God's presence.
Jim FinleyHOST
It's amazing how we're strangely comfortable in being somewhat distant from ourselves.
Jim FinleyHOST
It's like we're almost like lonely for ourselves and we don't know it.
Jeremy WilliamsGUEST
some time with the Lord and go, "What, Lord, what are the sacred places that make me come alive?" Mm-hmm.
Jeremy WilliamsGUEST
Is it, is it trees? Is it mountains? Is it water? Um, and saying, "I need to prioritize that," you know? W- are there certain practices, whether it's a certain kind of reading, Lectio Divina, reading the scripture- Mm ...
Jeremy WilliamsGUEST
or certain kinds of prayer, but just say, "Man, I make a plan for so many things in my life.
Jeremy WilliamsGUEST

John ThwaitesGUEST
This is from around the 3rd century.
John ThwaitesGUEST
So this is called the Lectio Divina.
John ThwaitesGUEST
The Christian form of Lectio Divina was first introduced by St. Gregory of, uh, Nyssa, and encouraged by the Benedic- Benedictine monks.
John ThwaitesGUEST
Um, let's, it's, uh, uh, build...
John ThwaitesGUEST
It's more of a contemplative and reflective way to reading scripture.
Tim MHOST
To enter the world of the Spirit means I'm taking a back seat and recognising that This is really happening the same way that the play is really happening, but it is not ultimate reality.
Tim MHOST
There's a practice called Lectio Divina, which is a reading practice in one of the traditions.
Tim MHOST
And in the blurb, the official blurb, it says, as we go into this meditation, it says, as we retreat from the shadow world, So the world around you is the shadow world.
Tim MHOST
Plato talks about this, his famous cave allegory.

A time of Lectio Divina for the discerning heart.
Chris McGregorHOST
Sunday of the 24th week in Ordinary Time
Kris McGregorHOST
As you begin, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
JaredHOST
And I try to do that in this podcast by doing two different styles of meditation each week on the same scripture.
JaredHOST
One of them is a freeform style, which I alternate with a Lectio Divina inspired meditation that relies on on a style of meditation that's been done in Christianity for hundreds of years.
JaredHOST
So please use whichever is most beneficial for you.
JaredHOST
But the end goal right now is to dedicate this time to the Almighty God of Heaven.
Mary SpencerHOST
I invite us to pray with the scripture from Proverbs 4, verses 20 to 23.
Mary SpencerHOST
We're going to use the prayer method Lectio Divina.
Mary SpencerHOST
I'll read the scripture three times.
Mary SpencerHOST
The first time, I'm just going to read the passage so we become familiar with it.
Katie WyattHOST
What's step one today for me?
Paul CechGUEST
Well, if there is a movement of grace there and some inquiry that is being made, I would start with what we did at the beginning of this show, which is a kind of Lectio Divina, right? So let's read this together, realizing that this is the word of God and his words don't pass away.
Paul CechGUEST
In other words, they're imbued with divine wisdom and goodness.
Paul CechGUEST
Let's read this.
Kevin MagasGUEST
So I think that's what he would see and accompanied by, right, a deep liturgical, you know, formation and spiritual formation, right? And so if you just change the rites again, right, or just kind of, you know, change the posture of the priest like that's not enough right that's not for him he would say you know you need to how are we introducing people into the fullness of the christian life into the christian mystery so
Larry ChappHOST
yeah yeah i mean we need to remember he is an oratorian all right so you know this is this is someone who uh who the charism of his order is oriented towards getting people, in a sense, to prepare for the high point of their lives, the Eucharist, by, in fact, inculcating within themselves a life of prayer, a life of asceticism, a life of prayer, a life of simplicity, a life oriented around reading the Scriptures and Lectio Divina and all those sorts of things.
Larry ChappHOST
That way, you approach the liturgy with this reservoir of, spiritual formation.
Larry ChappHOST
In that sense, if the liturgy is performed even with a modicum of competence, then you can, in fact, enter into it with great profundity.
