Through a Spritual Lens

Visio Divina (sacred seeing) is adapted from the practice of lectio divina (sacred reading).

Lectio divina is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer. A passage is read word by word, line by line, thoughtfully while praying. With the practice of Visio Divina, a picture, instead of words, is used to meditate contemplatively. This style of prayer is intended to promote communion with God and to guide the worshiper into viewing the world as Christ views the world.

Take a quiet contemplative photo walk (indoor or outdoor). Use your camera's lens to see as Christ sees. Pay attention to the tug at your heart to stop and notice something in particular. Resist the urge to only photograph what your mind deems as "worthy". If you are noticing it, it is important and has some sort of lesson for you.

Next, choose one image that "sparkles" to you. Which ones draws your eye and your heart in when you look at it?

Share one Photograph and scripture verse or passage that comes to to mind

Possible extra share what lesson you learned in the process or how the image speaks to you of God............
