Lectio Divina As a result of the extensive renovations underway at St. Michael s Cathedral, Lectio Divina with Cardinal Collins will travel throughout the Archdiocese in On Sunday, June 5, it will be hosted at St. Mary s Parish, 65 Amelia, Barrie. We hope you will be able to join Cardinal Collins and our faith community. Lectio Divina ( divine, or sacred, reading ) is the name given to a spiritual tradition among Christians over the last two thousand years. This form of prayer involves three distinct stages: a) reading a short scripture passage b) reflecting on the passage and c) a short period of silence. We begin with Vespers (Evening Prayer) at 7:00 pm, followed by the Lectio Divina from 7:30 to 8:15 pm. All are welcome to join Cardinal Collins for this special evening of prayer. Lectio Divina is recorded by Salt & Light Catholic Media for future broadcast.
