In the Gospel of John Jesus directs us, "Abide in me, as
I abide in you." This book is an invitation to make the
Word of God your home through the practice of lectio divina.
Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, encourages you to turn the words
of Scripture over in your heart as a plough turns over the soil
to welcome the seed.
In these scriptural meditations, the piercing reflective
questions and personal prayers lead the reader into a deeper
relationship with the Divine. Aware that drawing near the
Word of God requires a special kind of presence, the author
invites you to breathe in the Word, wait before the Word, walk
through the pages of Scripture as a pilgrim, and, finally, abide
in an intimate and transforming communion with God.
The format of the book lends itself not only to daily personal
prayer and reflection, but to group faith sharing as well.
