I am exceedingly happy to see the American Bible Society (ABS) responding so quickly to Pope Benedict's encouragement to delve more deeply into sacred Scripture through the practice of Lectio Divina. The Pope spoke eloquently of Lectio Divina and its need for us to practice in his recent work on Scripture, Verbum Domini.Mario Paredes who oversees the Roman Catholic section of the ABS has organized for today "a contemporary approach to the ancient method of Lectio Divina as a service both to and through the Catholic Church with a new Lectio Divina Bible and Manuel. ABS will inaugurate the new Lectio Divina program at an official kick-off" today at 11 a.m at the ABS headquarters.
Brother Simeon Leiva, OCSO, a monk of Saint Joseph's Abbey, Spencer, MA, will deliver a talk titled, "A Contemporary Approach to Lectio Divina."
