Lectio Divina: es una forma de oración utilizando las Sagradas Escrituras. Se
trata de un proceso de cuatro pasos, usando las Escrituras como base para conocer a
nuestro Señor en una forma más profunda. Fue un proceso desarrollado por San Benedicto y se puede utilizar como oración individual o grupal.
4 PASOS: LEER, MEDITAR, ORAR, CONTEMPLAR
PUEDE COMENZAR CON UNA ORACIÓN AL ESPÍRITU SANTO:
Ven, Espíritu Santo, ilumina mi mente, abre mi corazón para que yo pueda encontrar en la Palabra a Cristo, el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida…...Ayúdame a seguir
hoy, la llamada de Cristo de una manera nueva, conforme a tu palabra. Y lo digo
por todos en el mundo, uno quien es enviado por el Señor, quiero ser un hermano/
hermana, un amigo, ahora voy a ser un discípulo del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu
Santo. Amén.
Paso 1: LEER: ¿Qué dice el texto bíblico? En el nivel más básico: ¿Qué está pa-
sando en este pasaje bíblico? Usted tiene que identificar una PALABRA, FRASE,
IDEA que toca su corazón…..que el Señor pone en tu corazón…..
PRIMERA LECTURA: lea el texto en voz alta lenta y deliberadamente.
REFLEXIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la lectura y permitir que
el Espíritu Santo le revele UNA PALABRA, UNA FRASE, UNA IDEA/CONCEPTO
que es el centro del significado del texto para usted (¿Qué le está diciendo el texto
bíblico?).
INTERNALIZAR: repetir la palabra o frase en voz alta o en su corazón.
Paso 2: MEDITAR: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través del
texto de la Escritura? ¿Qué es lo que Dios quiere que conozca o vea a través del
texto de la Escritura? ¿Cómo este texto me habla a mi experiencia en la vida?
SEGUNDA LECTURA: leer el mismo pasaje.
LA MEDITACIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la pregunta: ¿Qué
me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través de este texto de la Escritura?
Paso 3: ORAR: Mi Señor me ha hablado en el texto Bíblico: ¿Qué es lo que le
quiero decir a Dios en oración?
TERCERA LECTURA: puede volver a leer el mismo pasaje.
REFLEXIÓN: Jesús me ha hablado personalmente en este texto Bíblico.
¿Qué quiero decir a mi Señor en oración?
ORACIÓN: diga su oración a Señor ya sea en voz alta o interiormente.
Paso 4: CONTEMPLAR / ACTUAR: Como resultado de mi oración, ¿A qué
Jesús me está llamando HACER (esta semana) como resultado de este proceso? Por
último, nuestra oración nos invita a la acción, en definitiva, a ser más compasivo y
fiel.
CONTEMPLAR: en lo que nuestro Señor está llamándome hacer como resultado de
este proceso.
Lectio Divina: is a form of prayer using Sacred Scripture. It is a four step
process, using Scripture as its basis to get to know our Lord in a more profound
way. It is a process that was developed by St. Benedict and can be used in
individual prayer or in a group.
4 STEPS: READ, MEDITATE, PRAY, CONTEMPLATE
MAY WANT TO BEGIN WITH A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT:
Come Holy Spirit, illuminate my mind, open my heart so I can
encounter in your Word Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the
Life…..Help me follow today, the call of Christ in a new way,
according to your word. And let me be for all in the world, one who is
sent by the Lord, let me be a brother/sister, let me be a friend, let me
be a disciple of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Step 1: READ: What does the Biblical Text Say?
At the most basic level:
What is going on in this Scriptural passage? You have to identify a WORD,
PHRASE, IDEA that touches your heart….that the Lord places in your heart…..
FIRST READING: read the text out loud slowly and intentionally.
REFLECTION: take several minutes to reflect on the reading and allow
the Holy Spirit to surface a WORD, A PHRASE, AN IDEA/CONCEPT that is
central to the meaning of the text for you (What is the Biblical text saying?).
INTERNALIZE: repeat the word or phrase either out loud or in your
heart.
Step 2: MEDITATE:
What is Jesus saying to me personally through this
Scripture Text? What does God want me to know or see through this Scripture
Text. How does this text speak to my experience in life?
SECOND READING: read the same passage again.
MEDITATION: take several minutes to reflect on the question: What is
Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text?
Step 3: PRAY: My Lord has spoken to me in the Scriptural Text:
What do I
want to say back to him in Prayer?
THIRD READING: may want to re-read the same passage again.
REFLECTION: Jesus has spoken to me personally in this Scriptural text.
What do I want to say to my Lord in Prayer?
PRAYER: say your prayer to our Lord either out loud or interiorly.
Step 4: CONTEMPLATE / ACT:
As a result of my prayer, what is Jesus
calling me to DO (this week) as a result of this process? Finally, our prayer calls
us to action ultimately to be more compassionate and faithful.
CONTEMPLATE: on what our Lord is calling you to do as a result of this
process.
