Called to Glory
1 primary work
Book 2
With the Practice of Lectio Divina we seek to deepen our interpersonal relationship with God through reflection, prayer and contemplation. We are called regularly to an "experience of desert" to seek silence and solitude, as our Desert Fathers did in the Early Church. It is here that we come to recognize more clearly and truly who God is, who we are, who others are, what the world is, and the reality of grace versus evil. We try to clarify God's view of us - creatures with such a special destiny. We come to more perfectly view ourselves as persons made in the image of God. Through this discovery, we come to appreciate the extent to which the likeness has been lost, but can be recovered in Jesus Christ. We are ultimately called to respond in action to what has been gained through our practice of Lectio Divina.
