Each meeting of the group generally follows the following format: two 25 minute periods of Centering Prayer (with a short meditation walk in between) and one 30 minute period for the practice of Lectio Divina in the ancient monastic tradition. |
|
Beginning in September, 2006, we will listen to the Father William Meninger audio CD, “A Stroll Through the Gospels”. If you are a student of the New Testament, or if you incorporated Lectio Divina into your prayer life, this series of conferences on the four Gospels will enrich you with Father William’s knowledge and insights as a Trappist Monk, and as a student and teacher on Sacred Scripture. Father Meninger studied Sacred Scripture at St John’s Seminary in Boston, at Harvard Divinity School, and in Jerusalem. For several years, he taught Sacred Scripture at The Center for Biblical Studies in Jerusalem, and for 40 years he has been Scripture Professor at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, and at St Benedict’s Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado. For the summer months of 2007, we will do Lectio Divina instead of the Meninger tapes. |
