Lectio Divina is a Latin term, which roughly translates as ‘Divine Reading’. It invites us to chew, savour and mull over God's words quietly, slowly and intently. It can be used individually or in a group setting.
 Lectio traditionally has a four-step approach:
·         Reading                      Lectio
·         Meditation                  Meditatio
·         Prayer                         Oratio
·         Contemplation            Contemplatio
