Lectio Divina – Weekly Video Reflections on the Sunday Gospel
We invite you to participate in the Gospal reflection for the next Sunday with Bishop David Walker, Fr John Frauenfelder and Virginia Ryan.
These Lectio Reflections provide the framework to develop our faith life. Our faith is in Jesus who comes to us as the human face of God. Faith life is human life lived in a deeply personal and intimate relationship with Jesus. Jesus is our friend and lover, the most significant point of reference in our life. We need to lead our life conscientiously and intentionally so that all that we do is done within the context of our love relationship with Jesus. Lectio Divina is one of the ways we can develop this.
