The Bible means different things to different people: for some is the Christian's Book, for others it recounts the story of the Biblical people. But for others the Bible is the story of a personal relationship with God. After all, as the Bible speaks of how God enters the story of the people, so the Bible can also help us to see how God enters into our own life.

Among many methods used to let the Bible shed its light on our life, we find the ancient art of Lectio Divina. It is a process of praying with the Bible through reading, meditating, contemplating and finally speaking to God about the text. Through this art the Bible comes alive and is a means of union with God, having every verse and word communicating personally with you.

For those who are interested to pray with Lectio Divina in a group setting, the University chaplaincy will be organising four weekly meetings led by Fr Paul Sciberras starting on Friday at 6.30 p.m. at the University Chapel. The sessions will focus on the Gospel of the Sundays throughout Advent. For more information contact chaplaincy@um.edu.mt or call 2340-2341.
