Finding God in the Word

Listening, reading, speaking, and writing in ways that are faithful to the word of God are difficult spiritual disciplines. Here are four simple rules for finding God in the word:

  • Listen to the Living Word, which is Jesus, in your heart through contemplative prayer.

  • Read the written word with an open embrace through the practice of lectio divina.

  • Let your speaking of a word be born out of a gentle silence and humbleness of heart.

  • After a time or prayer and meditation, write a love letter or a spiritual reflection about what God may be saying.
