Psalm 127:1 'Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.'

This was beautifully presented with Father and Joan. So wonderfully explained, thank you.

Hi, Joan! Thank you for sharing! I love lectio divina! I am a Catholic artist, wife, and mom. I have a youtube channel on which I share my art and my catholic faith. I cling to this practice daily and it has transformed my life. Jesus is my best friend now!

[janetecastro]

Thank you for sharing this important tool, the lectio divina. We used this method on a retreat day in my Parish community and we benefited a lot from it.

i really struggle in meditation part since God seems so silent to me .., i don't even recognize if the message is from him or just me putting words, but still i am thankful for this video it helps me and encouraged me to seek God more each day

[noeliadavila]

I really appreciate all who are seeking. It's proven to me to be worth more then all the riches in the world. I've got a couple of siblings that are millionaires and I don't associate with them because they just don't get it. To seek, regardless. Just go about your business no matter what it is. Simple, to have a relationship requires communication (communion). In order to understand each other you have to speak the same language. It's a matter of the heart. Know this God's guarantee is He knows your heart. He will always meet you half way. Like you He don't play. God's language is His Word. I have read it. I can never stop reading it. I believe in order for my spirit to understand God's Holy Spirit we have to be speaking the same language, His Word. I never knew the process was called Lectio Divina. And I'm not even Catholic. I don't believe in religion. I believe in God, His Son my Savior, His Holy Spirit my Comforter and His Word my Sword.

I am a bit confused. My understanding of lectio devina is there are not really steps so much as elements or aspects of it but that a person can actually begin their lectio devina practice at any stage of those elements. I also was told that there are 4 elements and not 5. The fifth thing you mention in this video I never have heard was a part of this method of prayer. I just was told that the culmination of LD prayer was just to be in the presence of God without really an agenda, but your step 5 seems very agenda focuses so it's confusing. LD seems like a very wonderful way of prayer but there are so many conflicting approaches to how one should do this and the teachers of it do not really help that much either. This makes me feel that the confusion this creates probably is one of the greatest reasons more people are not making this truly transformative way of connecting more fully to the word.

The first step will be stating the problem you face and ask for remedy ??

Then find the passage that solve the problem.

Fr. Can I know how long do I need to spend on lactic divina prayer?

1 Thessalonians 4:11 Study to be quiet, work with your hands and mind your own business. As we have commanded you to do.

Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!!

if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon...

To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection:
Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter

[awaitthegroom]

This is not a Biblical practice. Jesus never taught this- its a Catholic ritual. The lady said she couldnt pray- I suggest she needed good Bible teaching and exegesis- when you know you are saved your mouth will pray Biblically and the Spirit will lead you- read the Psalms David teaches you- this practice is not glorifying to God

[BibleSamurai]

Jesus never taught to pray like this. This is false teaching
