The Table of the Word, Part 2: The Transfiguration, Elijah, Lectio Divina, and Finding the Verbs

from Inquiry: the OCIA Podcast of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle · host Dave de la Fuente

Co-hosts Dr. Dave and Fr. Frank go deeper into the theme of the Table of the Word, exploring memorable passages ranging from Elijah at Horeb to the Transfiguration, how to pray using the technique of Lectio Divina, the power of the Liturgy of the Hours, and we offer suggestions to facilitate praying with Scripture by simplifying a scary word ("hermeneutics"). Scriptures give us language to interpret the world around us, and one invitation is to find a mantra, note the verbs, and then fully enter into the Scriptural story so that we are living in tune with God's love and grace. You'll also get some tidbits about the interpretation of the Bible in the Church, translations, and some banter about whether Dr. Dave can get more books or not. See what Fr. says!
