Lectio Divina (Divine Reading)
Lectio Divina is a prayerful approach to the scriptures. Some would say it is a way of praying the scriptures. This practice, which translated means Divine Reading, was introduced by a 12th-century Carthusian monk named Guigo. Lectio Divina can be practiced a number of ways both individually or in groups. he most common method has 4 steps: Reading, Meditation, Response, and Contemplation. Sometimes another step of prayer is added. Or, the method can be reduced to 3 steps of reading, meditation, and action.

Scripture: Proverbs 2: 1-15
Today is Epiphany Sunday, the time of the church year when we celebrate the story of the those who traveled great distances seeking the Christ child. The child was nearly 2 years old when the seekers arrived. Whatever had sparked the curiosity of these seekers caused them to continue pursuing a goal. Something mysterious, something of wonder was out of their reach, something that compelled them to continue on until they were able to experience first-hand what they sought.
