Why lectio divina?

When you can’t find peace, even prayer seems impossible. But reading with intention and openness is prayer like you’ve never known it. Sometimes only a word or two, either from scriptural or secular texts, is all you need to find rest.Lectio divina is both ancient and timeless, accessible to true believers and doubters alike.  Racing thoughts, painful memories, serious questions that might arise during lectio divina are, as one Benedictine monk observed “simply parts of yourself that are asking to be given to God along with the rest of your inner being.” Answers are close by if you just try.
