Lessons in Lectio Divina: Part Three
Give me a word
Practices: Continue your practice of silence. If you have become fairly consistent with silence try to practice at least 15- 20” a day. If you are having trouble with consistency try for 10” a day.

Reading: Sacred Rhythms: Lectio; Consciousness Examen; The Student; (A note about the readings: the document “The Student” is a famous story about observation and the scientific method. Obviously we aren’t learning the scientific method but we are learning how to observe a text.)
Reflection Questions: 1) Share: What was your practice like this week? What helped you stay with it? What tripped you up? What are you going to commit to doing to make yourself do it? 2) What insights did you find from your practice?
Tip of the week: Perhaps you can pick a Scripture text for this week and let it be your “fish”!
