I would like to highlight a very special class that we are offering at The Franciscan Center. The focus of this class is on the Spiritual component of Vital Life ….
The Franciscan Center is blessed to have Marcy Morgan, St. Leonard’s spiritual care manager teach this wonderful & ancient practice of Christian mindfulness. The class is called “Lectio Divina”. It is held the last Wednesday of every month at 4:00. For the month of March, she will be in the meditation room on March 28th.
"What is Lectio Divina? Below is a definition from Fr. M. Basil Pennington O.C.S.O.
“I deliberately leave the word in Latin, for the simple translation "reading" certainly betrays the meaning. More important, lectio, or lectio divina, always connotes for the Christian coming out of our tradition a whole process summed up in the four words lectio, meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio. This process is geared towards a transformation of consciousness and life. "Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus," says Saint Paul. Our aim is to have the "mind of Christ," the nous Christou, to see things, to evaluate all things, to respond to reality in the way Christ our Lord and Master does -- to see things as God sees them, to share in the divine consciousness. “
We hope that you will enjoy this new class offering
