Lectio Divina is a contemplative practice rooted in Christian spirituality, focusing on the prayerful reading of sacred texts, particularly the Bible. It involves a slow, meditative approach to scripture, allowing individuals to deeply engage with the text through four stages: lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation). Through this method, practitioners seek spiritual growth, deeper understanding of scripture, and a closer relationship with the divine.
