Daily Lectio Divina: Your aloneness will expand

Daily Lectio Divina: Your aloneness will expand

Repost of Episode 411

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re starting a new series on Wisdom from Rilke using selections from Letters to a Young Poet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke.  This week’s theme is Solitude, and today’s reading comes from “The First Letter.”

Your aloneness will expand and will become your home, greeting you like the quiet dawn.  Outer tumult will pass it by from afar.

Daily Lectio Divina: Fruit

Daily Lectio Divina: Fruit

Repost of Episode 370

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using selections from Life Together and Discipleship by German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Fruit is always something full of wonder, something that has grown organically.  The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of which God is the sole source. Those bearing this fruit are as unaware of it as a tree is of its fruit.  The only thing they are aware of is the power of the one from whom they receive their life.

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using selections from Life Together and Discipleship by German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God….Only where hands are not too good for deeds of love and mercy in everyday helpfulness can the mouth joyfully and convincingly proclaim the message of God’s love and mercy.

Daily Lectio Divina: The Narrow Road

Daily Lectio Divina: The Narrow Road

Repost of Episode 368

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using selections from Life Together and Discipleship by German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

The road of the disciples is narrow.  It is easy to go past it; it is easy to miss it; it is easy to lose it, even for those who have already walked it.  It is hard to find.  The path is narrow indeed; there is a real danger of falling off on both sides.  To be called to do the extraordinary, but not to see and to know that one is doing it–that is a narrow road.

Daily Lectio Divina: The Paradox of Our Existence

Daily Lectio Divina: The Paradox of Our Existence

Repost of Episode 367

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using selections from Life Together and Discipleship by German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Human beings have lost their own, God-like essence, which they had from God.  They live now without their essential purpose, that of being the image of God.  Human beings live without being truly human.  They must live without being able to live.  That is the paradox of our existence and the source of all our woes.
