Scripture - "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

During our devotions this week, we will follow Lectio Divina as our guide. "Lectio Divina invites you to savor God's words quietly, slowly and intently. It gives space to respond to what you feel God is saying and helps you build a vital bridge between your encounters with God and everyday life with its joys, humdrum and challenges."

Traditionally, Lectio Divina has four separate steps: read; meditate; pray; contemplate. First a passage of scripture is read, then its meaning is reflected upon. This is followed by prayer and contemplation on the Word of God. This week we will add "action" as a fifth step as we explore new ways to "go into the world" in spite of COVID-19.
