Lectio Divina While reading sacred scripture, read the words with a love and sense of discovery until something seems to strike home. Sit with the passage as one would with a good friend- not just thinking or analyzing, but instead remaining in a quiet, listening spirit, so the word can nurture and challenge you.

Wicks Used with permission of Paulist Press www.paulistpress.com	Call to Prayer "Let us take a moment in the midst of all our activity to prepare ourselves for prayer." The Word of God Choose one of next Sunday's readings (links below). One person reads the scripture aloud as others are attentive to a word, phrase, or theme that is meaningful to them. Allow for a minute of silent reflection. Have another person read the same scripture a second time.	Faith Sharing Begin with an open ended question such as "What strikes you from this reading?" and/or you can use the "Reflection Question" found below. Allow time for reflection & sharing. Closing Prayer At the end of the faith sharing, invite participants to pray aloud for any particular petitions or praises they may have. Feel free to close with The Lord's Prayer, spontaneous prayers, or a faith-based song.
