Dramatic Catholics

Dust off your Bibles! This week, we’re learning about Lectio Divina, an ancient form of prayer that helps us slow down and meditate on Scripture. We’ll walk through its four movements: lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation).We will also practice Lectio together using the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10.Come join us as we explore this beautiful way of praying with Scripture and discover what God has to speak to you through the love letter He gives us in Sacred Scripture.

What happens when we realize we’ve become comfortable in our faith?In this episode, we talk about spiritual complacency, persistent prayer, trust in God, and the courage to go deeper. We reflect on Matthew 15:21–28 and the Canaanite woman’s persistent faith, asking what God might be inviting us to do when He seems silent.Whether you are new to the faith, or have been a long time practicing Catholic, this one is for you! :)
