Week 1 Reading

This week you will be reading using a practice called Lectio Divina. Repeat this process each day, working slowly through the reading. When you finish, be sure to spend a moment reflecting on the way that slow reading effects your experience of the text.

Instructions:

• Set your reading timer for half the time you have to read

• Read for the allotted time

• When the timer goes off, write a word that caught your attention on the back of your daily card

• Reset your reading timer for the same amount of time and repeat the process, re-reading what you read the first time

• Write down any new words, phrases, or sentences that stood out to you

• Note where you left off reading each day so you know where to start the next day
