Lectio Divina is the prayerful way to read the Scriptures and a way of encountering Christ through a specific way of reading the Bible. “There is one particular way of listening to what the Lord wishes to tell us in his word and of letting ourselves be transformed by the Spirit. It is what we call Lectio Divina. It consists of reading God’s word in a moment of prayer and allowing it to enlighten and renew us.”. (Pope Francis in Joy of the Gospel / Evangelii Gaudium 152 First Friday all day Adoration on Friday 3rd November

Remember - If you are too busy to pray, then you are too busy!!! Becoming a Catholic
If you know someone, a friend on campus or someone on your course maybe who would like to find out more about the Catholic Faith, first pray about it, then start talking to them about joining the new series of RCIA gatherings which happen every First Friday of the month at 7pm in the Apostles’ Room at Ss Peter & Paul Church, Combe Down, (Father Bill’s parish church) If you would like to come along to these friendly sessions either as an enquirer or a helper or as a ‘rusty’ Catholic then just turn up (lifts can be arranged). Our next session is on Friday 3rd November at 7pm. All very welcome… See Father Bill OSM the Catholic Chaplain or email him on catholicchaplain@bath.ac.uk Lifts to the church are available.
