    Lectio Divina, Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 6, 2024

    So often we think we know the answers. We think we are doing good for God, but later notice that he was asking something different. This is what the disciples learned when Jesus told them to let the children come to him. Is there an area in my life where perhaps I think I’m doing the right thing, but maybe if I listened to God more closely I would notice that he was telling me to do the opposite? It’s in times like these when I need to listen to God more closely, because I may be missing an opportunity where God wants to let his grace flow more freely.

    Lectio Divina, Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 29, 2024

    God watches us and admires every way we give him praise. Let’s use our lives to do just that, to praise him. Then we will see his will prevailing in our lives. If we turn our eyes to him instead of toward sin, we will see his glory. But so often we choose sin over him, thinking it’s the better choice. It never is. Have faith and seek him everywhere you go. He will not disappoint.

    Lectio Divina, Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 22, 2024

    Jesus is here ready to speak to you. Follow him into the quiet recesses of your heart where he sits down and invites you to sit beside him. He is our Lord and savior, and nothing else in the world will fulfill our hearts, our souls, our passions, and our desires better than him and the truth, goodness and beauty he has in store for us.

    Lectio Divina, Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 15, 2024

    Jesus speaks to us so intimately all of the time. He does not fail to reach us. It’s our stubbornness that fails to hear him when he answers us with the exact truth we need to hear or experience. God will not control our free will, because doing so would contradict love. Love is the key to the human heart. So God loves us with a perfect, unconditional love. That’s the way God designed us. He wants the relationship between us and him to be governed by the most powerful force he created. Do we love him? If we do, we will listen to him.

    Lectio Divina, Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 8, 2024

    If we don’t know that God is calling us to listen in this Gospel, then we are deafer than the deaf man. God wants us to turn our spiritual ears—in other words, our hearts—toward him, so we are no longer deaf to his voice in our lives. What do we need to do to have a more open heart? In what way is God shouting to us, “Be opened!”

    Lectio Divina, Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time September 1, 2024

    The Lord our God is here listening to our prayers. It’s so easy and tempting to be swayed by the influences of the world and favor its voice over God’s. When we are quiet, what do we hear? Do we hear someone else’s words or God's? What do you hear that no one else but God has said to you? What part of todays’ Gospel stands out the most? Is there any part that leads you to think of another part of Scripture? Is there a part that leads you to think of something that has happened in your life recently? Sometimes God speaks through other people. Sometimes he speaks through events. None of it is isolated though. He backs up what he says and does with his word, the Scriptures. That’s why it is so important to familiarize ourselves with his word, because through it God speaks to us in ways we will not notice if we are not familiar with it.

    Lectio Divina, Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time August 25, 2024

    Sometimes when we listen, God says something that is hard to accept. In those moments, we can turn from him or stay as Peter and the apostles did. When we are not certain if a hard saying truly is the voice of God in our lives, then is a good time to be silent and listen. Is it God speaking to our hearts, or is it the world, the flesh and the devil that is trying to compel us. God is truth. He does not need popular opinion or influential people to convince us of that truth. He uses his own Spirit and life to speak to us. He uses his word, and if his Spirit is alive within us he speaks directly to our hearts and our conscience. Listen to him there and you will hear him speak.

    Lectio Divina, Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 18, 2024

    Many people did not want to listen to Jesus’ teaching on the Bread of Life. It was too strange and unbelievable for them. But I love what Peter says. When asked by Jesus, “Will you leave me too?”, he says, “To where shall we go? You alone have the words of eternal life.” He listened because he desired what we all desire: eternal life. And he knew that in order to obtain it, he had to listen to the one who offered it, because he had no idea how to obtain it himself. If someone tells us to do something we don’t want to do, and it’s not even required in order to obtain something we want to obtain, why would we listen? But if we know it’s the missing element that will give us what we desire most, then we will listen. So the only question that remains is, ‘Do I want to live forever?’ If so, then I should listen to Jesus.

    Lectio Divina, Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 11, 2024

    The best way to hear God’s voice in lectio divina, and in any part of life, is to enjoy the process. So often God is found in the process, in the ordinary drudgery of our everyday routines. So often we just push through our daily tasks, hoping we’ll find some relief, some peace, some form of God somewhere at the end. But he is here right in the middle of it all just as much as he is at the end of it all. Enjoy the process of finding him, of working through the hardships, and you will see God. If you learn to find God in even the hardest parts of life, nothing that life throws at you will be able to steal that joy from you.
