A comment asked for an 'audio' example of Lectio Divina. I think that is beyond my tech capabilities this week.
I did a search, and ended up with what I know anyway! These two are sites I have recommended over and over and they are still among the best out there.
Sacred Space is a nice guided meditation using your computer. Some of the questions it asks following the reading are typical of Lectio.
Pray As You Go has excellent production values. It has the added advantage of being downloadable to your Ipod or MP3 player.
Both of these are more rooted in Ignatian meditation. (More on that next week!) But, they are not bad examples of ways to meditate on the Scriptures.
I think that the key with Lectio is to remember the four steps: Read; Meditate; Converse with God; Be with God. In a sense, the doing of it teaches you how to do it. You might feel your way 'in the dark' for a bit, but if you trust that God wants to converse with you, the relationship cannot fail to develop.
Since first meeting with you about RCIA back in May, I've found the Pray As You Go podcast to be the ideal thing to take with me while traveling. Via iPhone and iPad, it's very convenient, concise and well-produced. Big fan. Thanks for sharing.
