Lectio Divina
Lectio Divina is a traditional way of praying with Scripture. It involves reading, meditating, praying, and contemplating. Consistency is ideal, so spending ten minutes daily is better than ten minutes one day and thirty minutes the next. How to Pray with Scripture Like a Friar are my notes from a podcast with the same name. I hope it enhances your prayer life as it has mine.
The Scripture Challenge . . .
Embark on the Scripture Challenge! Pope Francis has declared that the third Sunday in Ordinary Time each year will be dedicated to the Word of God. This will occur on Sunday, January 26, 2020. See the following article taken from the Archdiocese of Baltimore website: https://www.archbalt.org/pope-declares-special-sunday-each-year-dedicated-to-word-of-god/
I challenge you to read the Bible in a year, completing the first round by Sunday, January 24, 2021, which will be the second occurrence of this special dedication. That gives you time to order or simply print a chart that you can use to check each passage you read. These easy to use devotionals break the Bible into daily manageable pieces to read and before you know it, you'll be finished! This one from Coming Home Network International costs $3.00 and also breaks up the Catechism for you. Aletiea has one that you can print yourself. Be careful not to print a "Traditional Historical Chronology" that does not include all the chapters for each book.
