Lectio Divina is a contemplative way of reading the Bible. It dates back to the early centuries of the Christian Church and was established as a monastic practice by Benedict in the 6th century. It is a way of praying the scriptures that leads us deeper into God’s word. We slow down. We read a short passage more than once. We chew it over slowly and carefully. We savour it. Scripture begins to speak to us in a new way. It speaks to us personally, and aids that union we have with God through Christ who is himself the Living Word.

Intercessory prayer is prayer for others. An intercessor takes the place of another or pleads another's case. Intercession is "holy, believing, persevering prayer whereby someone pleads with God on behalf of another or others who desperately need God's intervention." Jesus Christ is our model for intercessory prayer. It is Christ who died and is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, and who also makes intercession for us. Therefore, He can also save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For more information, contact Tammy Kuppinger at 630-664-6668.
