Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina was held once a month from January to December 2021 at ISA. Participants were media educators and film enthusiasts. Although face to face was implemented, minimum health protocols set by the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force in the Philippines was followed so that the number of participants are limited. During the Lectio Divina, the participants were led into a prayerful reading on a passage of the Bible. They were then encouraged to share a passage or two that struck them and then share the reason why they chose the passage. The activity helped them to open up with their anxieties and concerns, allowing them to have a better understanding of the passage based on their actual experiences. Lectio Divina is an ancient tradition of the Church that until now it is very relevant in the deepening of one’s spirituality. There was an average of 12 to 16 participants every session. Sr. Corazon Cecilia Untal, Carm.O.L., Br. Kim Paul Escobal, O.Carm. and Br. Mechael Tating, O.Carm. were the facilitators of Lectio Divina sessions.
