JustFaith: Online Lectio Divina
Monday, September 22, 2025
6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Celeste Calabotta
Discover peace in these tumultuous times and hope for our magnificent common home of creation through one or all of three online sessions of Lectio Divina, an ancient, contemplative prayer practice that teaches us to listen to the Divine within us. In contemporary practice, Lectio Divina, which originated as a method of praying with scripture, now includes praying with the entire gamut of human experience through reading, listening, and gazing. The fruit of this powerful prayer is an openness to encountering God in the intimacy of our hearts, in our relationship with others, and in the entire created universe around us.
The program will run Monday evenings, 6:30-8:00 pm, on September 15, 22, and 29, 2025, virtually on Zoom. Join us for any or all sessions, but register soon as space is limited to 12 people per session! No prior experience is necessary. Free will offering.
