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.

The Road to Emmaus
Lectio Reflection – Third Sunday of Easter – Luke 24:13-35 (Year A, 2026) There is something deeply human about this Gospel. Two disciples walking away from Jerusalem, weighed down by disappointment, confusion, and loss. “We had hoped…” – those words linger for me. They speak of a faith that once…
Easter Sunday – The Empty Tomb
Lectio Reflection – John 20:1-9 (Year A, 2026) Easter morning always brings us to the heart of our faith, yet the Gospel itself is remarkably restrained. There is no description of the resurrection moment. Instead, we are given something quieter, more subtle-and perhaps more demanding: the empty tomb. I find…
Lectio Reflection – Fifth Sunday of Lent
