In the Rule, St Benedict sets aside several hours each day when his monks are to be occupied with lectio divina, the prayerful and reflective reading of the Scriptures, in such a way that allows the voice of the Lord, speaking to us in the here and now, to be heard by the ears of our heart.
As monks, our community engage in this, not merely because it has been laid down for them, but because in their experience of it, they have found life.
In this retreat, Fr Cedd introduces the idea of lectio divina, using the small (but perfectly formed) book of Jonah.
