In John’s gospel we are directed to “Abide in me, as I abide in you”. This book presents an invitation to make the word of God your home through the practice of lectio divina.
Macrina Wiederkehr OSB encourages you to turn the words of Scripture over in your heart as a plough turns over the soil to welcome the seed.
In these scriptural meditations, the piercing reflective questions and personal prayers lead the reader into a deeper relationship with the divine. Aware that drawing near the Word of God requires a special kind of presence, the author invites you to breathe into the Word, wait before the Word, walk through the pages of Scripture as a pilgrim, and finally, abide in an intimate and transforming communion with God.
The format of the book lends itself not only to daily prayer and reflection , but to group faith sharing as well.
