LECTIO DIVINA

During Lent, the entire school community journeys together in silence to Chapel at the sound of the Monastery bell. Lectio Divina is our sacred time to contemplate the Word of God. We listen "with the ear of our hearts" to God's presence in the events of our lives. We experience Christ calling us back into God, our Father's loving embrace. "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. " Jesus reminds us that whenever we turn our hearts and minds to God in prayer, we shall find Him and we shall be satisfied. How awesome is that! At BA, Lent is one of our favorite times of the year.
