Stillness

Lectio Divina, the direct translation from Latin being "divine reading" or better translated as "spiritual reading" is a practice of stillness in the word of God to hear his voice. This practice comes from the early church which was still steeped in Judaism. As Judaism has always been a brother religion to Christianity we have taken and applied many of their practices of reading the bible lectio divina being one of them. Unlike an analytical reading of the Bible, this practice is a subjective reading that inquires a deeper spiritual meaning.
