During these challenging times it is more important than ever to maintain and strengthen our relationships with one another, within our communities, and with our God.

Lectio Divina will now be offered via ZOOM from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each Monday evening.


Lectio Divina means "holy reading" and is a prayerful study of Scripture in the Christian tradition dating from the medieval era. All are welcomed as we reflect, meditate, be receptive and respond to God’s word through each Sunday's Gospel. 

The process is simple. 
  • The Gospel for the following Sunday is read three times. 
  • The first time it is read we listen for a word or phrase that seems to speak directly to us. After a brief period of silence we have an opportunity to share that particular word or phrase that spoke to our heart with those present. (Sharing is always optional).  
  • The second time we hear the Gospel we listen and reflect on what God may be saying to us through our particular word or phrase. After another short period of silent reflection, anyone who chooses is encouraged to share his/her thoughts. 
  • The third time we hear and listen to the Gospel reading we consider how God may be calling each of us to act through our word or phrase. After a final period of silent reflection, all who choose can share his/her reflections. 
 It is not necessary to attend every week. You are welcome to attend as often as you can but I encourage you to try at least once to decide whether this type of prayer is for you.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Blessings to all!! St. Charles of Brazil Adult Spirituality Team
