video Lectio Divina

“The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops invited Father James Martin, SJ, editor at large at America, to address the English-speaking youth during World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, in a series of videos. In this video, Father Martin looks at the practice of “lectio divina,” a wonderful way of praying with Scripture. He presents the four easy questions of “lectio divina” to help you meet God through the Bible.” – from the YouTube description at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YWPLTYceDgw&t=4
