Daily Lectio Divina: St. Augustine

Daily Lectio Divina: St. Augustine

Repost of Episode 64

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Augustine:

Late have I loved you,
O Beauty so ancient and so new,
late have I loved you!
You were within me, but I was outside,
and it was there that I searched for you.
In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created.
You were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you;
yet if they had not been in you they would not have been at all.
You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness.
You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness.
You breathed your fragrance on me;
I drew in breath, and now I pant for you.
I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched me, and I burned for your peace.

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Umilta of Faenza:

Kind Christ–you’re my only hope–come to me. Don’t be slow to visit my heart, which desperately needs your love. Fill it with divine grace. Join my mind and soul. Make them burn in you who are flame without smoke always, wholly resplendent.

Come to me and bring your love, gorgeous fire that makes all things bear fruit. You draw the seeds out of the dry ground and make them grow. Hear me, excellent sower. My heart only wants the seed of love from you. This seed grows instantly and produces the best fruit.

I beg only love from you. Come then, Jesus, sweet lover. Don’t dawdle!

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,

Daily Lectio Divina: St. Catherine of Siena

Repost of Episode 61

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Catherine of Siena:

You, God, are a fire that always burns without consuming. You are a fire consuming in its heat every compartment of the soul’s self-absorbed love.  You are a fire lifting all chill and giving all light. In your light you show me your truth. You’re the light that outshines every light.

You, God, give the mind’s eye your divine light so completely and excellently, you bring lucidity even to the light of faith. In that faith, I see my soul has life, and in that light, I receive you who are light itself.

Repost of Episode 60

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Anselm:

O Lord my God,
teach my heart this day where and how to see you,
where and how to find you.
You have made me and remade me,
and you have bestowed on me
all the good things I possess,
and still I do not know you.
I have not yet done that
for which I was made.
Teach me to seek you,
for I cannot seek you
unless you teach me,
or find you
unless you show yourself to me.
Let me seek you in my desire,
let me desire you in my seeking.
Let me find you by loving you,
let me love you when I find you.

Be my honor, Lord,
my joy,
my beauty,
my consolation in sorrow,

my patience in problems,
my abundance in poverty,
my food in fasting,
my sleep in vigilance,
and my therapy in weakness.
