All are invited to come join us this evening to learn a new way to read and pray the Bible. Fr. Mike Renninger, Vicar for Vocations for the Richmond Diocese, will be leading an introduction to Lectio Divina for our CCM Twilight Retreat tonight, Thursday, October 1st from 7-9pm at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The Retreat will be held in the Parish Hall. Enter the Parish Hall through the glass doors on Cathedral Pl. along the right side of the Church.
This is a joint program of the VCU, University of Richmond, and Randolph-Macon Catholic Campus Ministries.
Lectio Divina is an ancient prayer form stemming from the monastic tradition. You can learn more about it here from the Benedictines who started the whole tradition, here from my former professor Dan Harrington, SJ in an easy to read article, and here in a 5 minute YouTube video by Jim Martin, SJ, the author of "My Life With the Saints."
Also, if you want to practice this prayer you can join a group at the Cathedral that does Lectio Divina every other weekend. This coming Sunday, Oct. 4th they will be praying Lectio Divina in the Lower Meeting Room (the basement of the CCM House) from 12:00-12:45 p.m. following the 11:00 am Mass. And also on Oct. 18th from 4:30-5:15 p.m., on Nov. 1st from 4:30-5:15 p.m., on Nov. 15 from 8:15-9:00 a.m., on Nov. 29th from 12:00-12:45 p.m. No experience is necessary. Just show up!
We look forward to seeing you tonight!
