Lectio Divina

This is a practice of sitting with scripture and listening to what the Holy Spirit might be telling us. We will alternate reading a passage with listening and praying. It is a way of slowing down and being 'still'.

[Additional Background Info]

“Baptism, plunging into the river Jordan, was a powerful sign of this renewal. When the children of Israel had come out of Egypt–a story they all knew well because of their regular Passovers and other festivals–they were brought through the Red Sea, through the Sinai wilderness, then through the Jordan into the promised land. Now they were in slavery again–in their own land!–and wanted a new Exodus to bring them to freedom.”

— Luke for Everyone (New Testament for Everyone Book 0) by Tom Wright

“God’s justice would be displayed not through riches and royalty of worldly style, but through the love and justice that would finally be combined on the cross.”

— Luke for Everyone (New Testament for Everyone Book 0) by Tom Wright

Closing Prayer

from The Book of Common Prayer

This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord for whatever it may be.

If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely.

If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly.

If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently.

And if I am to do nothing, help me to do it gallantly.

Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus.

Amen.
