“Give yourself over to sacred reading until continual meditation fills your mind and the Scriptures fashion you after their likeness” John Cassian

Participants will flow with the prayers of the monastic community but also have teachings on Lectio Divina. The method will provide individual time and help practice the Lectio Divina prayer form to be done at home.

There will be daily Eucharist with the monastic community and opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Thursday evening will be a lectio of song.
