The practice of "lectio divina" is a lovely way to meditate on Scripture. The passage is read (most helpfully aloud even if I am alone) slowly several times. As I read, I listen for something that impresses me in a new or renewed way. Then that thought, or image, or insight or whatever it attaches itself to becomes my focus. What is God saying to me? What will I do about it? Psalm 23 is a wonderful passage for lectio with its pastoral language and vivid language. I suspect that on this Friday as we near the end of Lent and reach the summit of Easter some of us would be refreshed by a meditation of this sort!
