Lectio Divina: Learning to Pray the Scriptures (May 2026)

Lectio Divina (“sacred reading”) is the ancient practice of reading the Scriptures in a meditative fashion as a guide for prayer. Developed by Benedictine monastic communities in the Middle Ages, Lectio Divina is a rich resource for prayer across many Christian traditions. This workshop will survey the biblical foundations for Lectio Divina as well as techniques for this method of prayer. Following this workshop, students will be prepared to implement Lectio Divina in times of personal prayer and in corporate prayer services.
