Praying with Scripture
During our sessions with adults, we discovered two ways to pray with Scripture: Lectio Divina and Ignatian Contemplation. Linked below are short videos and a handout describing these ways of prayer.
Praying with the readings ahead of the celebration of the Sunday liturgy is a wonderful way to prepare for Mass AND deepen our prayer lives. The website linked below, The Five Loaves, offers a video reflection on each Sunday's gospel. Our parish posts reflection questions related to the Sunday readings on the parish website each week.
