Description

Using text illuminations from the Pentateuch, Psalms, Prophets, Wisdom Books, and the New Testament, this prayer book combines the Word of Sacred Scipture with the beauty of sacred art. It is designed to be prayed slowly and meditatively in the manner of the Benedictine practice of lectio divina. Lecto divina, a Latin term meaning "sacred reading," necessitates a quiet and peaceful time and place for one to read and reread a small section of Scripture. Furthermore, this book is designed to promote visio divina, or "sacred viewing."
