Lectio Divina - A way of reading Scripture:
Listening for Christ the Word
1) Reading: One person reads aloud the
passage of scripture, as others listen for the
word or phrase that is especially meaningful
for them.
2) Silence for two minutes. Each person hears
and silently repeats a word or a phrase that
has attracted them.
3) Sharing aloud each may make a single
sentence statement of the word or phrase that
has attracted them. No elaboration.


How Christ the Word speaks to me
4) Second Reading of the same passage by
another person.
5) Silence for two minutes reflecting on “How
does the content of this reading touch my life
today?”
6) Sharing aloud, briefly, beginning “I hear...”
or “I see...”

What Christ the Word is inviting me to do
7) Third Reading of same passage by another
person.
8) Silence for two minutes reflecting on “I
believe that God wants me to be or do
today/during this camp?”
9) Sharing aloud the result of each person’s
reflection. Be especially aware of what is shared
by the person on your right.
10) After sharing, in turn, pray for the person
on your right
Important note. Anyone may say “pass” at any
time. If instead of sharing with the group you prefer
to pray silently, simply state this aloud and
conclude your silent prayer with ‘Amen’
Poster
11) Write down some of the
significant words or phrases used during
your reflection and discuss images that
come to mind
12) As a group create a poster using
these images around the theme of the
module you are exploring at this session,
e.g. Telling Our Story
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
Because he has anointed me to preach good news
to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
To release the oppressed,
To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour. “
