Lectio Divina: The Message

An Invitation to Contemplate The Message - Aisha Hauser
Lectio: Slowly read and re-read the text. Pay attention to each individual word and what it means and what the whole sentence or phrase means
Meditatio: Let your mind be attracted to one word or short phrase (no more the three or four words). Slowly read and re-read these words. What meaning to these words have in the context of your life?
Oratio: Open your heart to the Universe, Spirit of Life, Nature or whatever you feel connected to beyond you. Meditate on these questions: What does the meaning of this text and its context in my lif
Contemplatio: Sit in the silence of the moment. Monastics would call this moment feeling the love of that which is bigger than us and appreciation for deeper understanding.
