Lectio Divina: Imagine Meeting with a Wise and Trusted Friend

Lectio divina can be more natural, comfortable, enjoyable, and effective when we imagine the time to be like meeting with an older, wise, and trusted friend. Something like a mentor relationship rooted in friendship and mutual care. In this episode, following the basic elements of lectio divina, I compare the movements of lectio divina with a typical meeting with a wise and trusted friend. This might be just the image for you that makes sense of meeting with God through a prayerful and mediative reading of Scripture.
