During the Middle Ages the act of reading was experienced intensively in the monastic exercise of lectio divina 'the prayerful scrutiny of passages of Scripture, savored in meditation, memorized, recited, and rediscovered in the reader's own religious life. The rich literary tradition that arose from this culture includes theoretical writings from the Conferences of John Cassian (fifth century) through the twelfth-century treatises of Hugh of St. Victor and the Carthusian Guigo II; it also includes compilations, literary meditations, and scriptural commentary, notably on the Song of Songs. This study brings medievalist research together with modern theoretical reflections on the act of reading in a consolidation of historical scholarship, spirituality, and literary criticism.

A guide through the process of lectio divina with each Sunday gospel for Year B.

Lectio divina is "letting our Divine Friend speak to us through his inspired and inspiring Word," according to M. Basil Pennington, the late priest, retreat master, and prominent lecturer in the Centering Prayer movement. This ancient Christian practice requires faith, humility, openness, and fidelity. Father Pennington sets the process of praying the Scriptures in the context of meditation, contemplation, compassion, and action. He calls it "a way of friendship" wherein we pay attention to "the love letters from the Lord." Lectio, as a satisfying mental and emotional experience, can be enhanced by reading different translations of the Bible, using commentaries, participating in Bible study groups, and using the resources of Scripture-oriented websites.

It was used mostly in the more literate religious communities through the centuries but is growing in popularity among laity, religious, and ecumenical groups today. How do you pray with the Bible?

This book is the fruition of not only a long personal experience but also a teaching and sharing about this ancient way of prayer: lectio divina. The author presents a unique method of listening to God through the daily readings of the Bible. It gives a substantial nourishment to our friendship with Jesus. Whilst rooted in the living Tradition, this book is full of new intuitions with many practical insights that makes it a useful manual. No Christian who prays or who loves the Bible can ignore this teaching."I do not believe that a similar book exists on lectio divina. [...] your book is a catharsis for modern intelligence and at the same time a teaching that frees the reader from the "psyche" and its illusions. [...] The most terrible thing today is that souls are so thirsty for God, a thirst to meet him in prayer and to be touched by him. [...] We can read ample descriptions about the "border of the well", but in fact what we need is to quench the thirst. What is special about this book is that it teaches the reader how to get water out of the well." G. Solari This is the full book of the same author.

The Bible is an ancient, enigmatic text from a culture vastly different from our own and most of us find it hard to read: how then can we understand its importance in the church, and how can it enrich our lives? Central to Lectio Divina is the conviction that to read the Bible faithfully and prayerfully is to learn an art. It is also to be in community, and to enter into dialogue with the God who speaks to each of us through the biblical page. Enzo Bianchi touches on some of the key insights in the history of Christian biblical interpretation - from the brilliant thinker Origen in the third century, to the development and refinement of historical criticism and related approaches in the modern era. He explains how to do lectio divina and understand its four 'moments' - lectio, meditatio, oratio, contemplatio. This is not simply a book about how to approach to the Bible, because Scripture ultimately wants to lead us beyond itself - to the truth and mystery of Christ that can never be captured fully in the written word.

The Second Vatican Council stated: "All . . . should immerse themselves in the Scriptures by constant spiritual reading and diligent study. . . ." The Church is still far from adequately carrying out those words, but recent years have seen a revival of interest in the Bible. During that revival, both the knowledge and the practice of lectio divina have become more widespread. In Praying the Bible Mariano Magrassi reintroduces us to this practice of prayerful reading of the word of God which is our heritage. With his vast knowledge of the Fathers and medieval monastic writers, Archbishop Magrassi synthesizes the unique and extraordinary experience of lectio divina. What is it? What are its key ideas? What are the necessary personal dispositions? What are the steps by which prayed reading is transformed into genuine contemplation? In Praying the Bible Magrassi answers these questions, providing a discussion that contains a healthy challenge and an invitation to grow.

With Mary and Joseph as our models and using the ancient prayer method of lectio divina (recently promoted by Pope Benedict XVI), we can maximize our receptivity to God's plan for our lives.
