• What Is Lectio Divina

  St. Augustine of Hippo’s phrase “ever ancient, ever new” describes the renewed interest in praying with Scripture that has re-emerged in today’s Church. Around the country, parish Bible study groups, small Christian communities, and other faith sharers have rediscovered a simple, insightful way to hear and experience the Word of God with one another through an ancient prayer form, lectio divina.
  
  Lectio Divina was first brought to our youth by Tanya Streibich when she began the young ladies group "The Art of Lectio Divina," for those who were both ready and committed to delve deeper into their faith with the praying of the divine scripture.
  
  High School Lectio Divina is the Youth Ministry Departments attempt to bring Lectio Divina to a wider group of youth who may want to learn to enter into that deeper reading of scripture, but may not yet be ready for one of the more advanced groups.
