Lectio Divina is a contemplative way of reading the Bible. It dates back to the early centuries of the Christian Church and was established as a monastic practice by Benedict in the 6th century. It is a way of praying the scriptures that leads us deeper into God’s word. We slow down. We read a short passage more than once. We chew it over slowly and carefully. We savour it. Scripture begins to speak to us in a new way. It speaks to us personally, and aids that union we have with God through Christ who is himself the Living Word.

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me ..." There are all kinds of ways in which God speaks to us--through our thoughts or any one of our faculties.

Intercessory prayer is prayer for others. An intercessor takes the place of another or pleads another's case. Intercession is "holy, believing, persevering prayer whereby someone pleads with God on behalf of another or others who desperately need God's intervention." Jesus Christ is our model for intercessory prayer. It is Christ who died and is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, and who also makes intercession for us. Therefore, He can also save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For more information, contact Tammy Kuppinger at 630-664-6668.

You are invited to join our STA Book Club for a discussion of the book "Scripture Wars: How Justin Martyr Rescued the Old Testament for Christians" by Rod Bennett. About a century after Jesus died, a battle began for the Old Testament. On one side, many Jewish converts charged Paul and most of the other Apostles with a Great Apostasy, a pulling away from the deep roots of their Jewish tradition. This, they argued, endangered the souls of believers everywhere. They sought to retain intact the strict practices and teachings of the Old Testament and to integrate more of them into the still new and developing Christian Faith. On the other side, Marcionite Christians held such antipathy toward the Old Testament that they advocated leaving it behind entirely. They even sought to purge from the New Testament practices and notions they judged too friendly to Jewish ideas. The outcome of this conflict would affect nearly every aspect of the new Christian Faith. Scripture Wars is an inspiring, true-life testimony to our Father's providence, a tale that has the power to strengthen the faith of Catholics even today, eighteen centuries later.
