Conversing with God in Lent presents us with an ancient form of prayer: Lectio divina. In Lectio divina, prayer takes the form of reading, meditation, prayer, contemplation, and action. In this book, respected biblical scholar Stephen J. Binz leads readers through the Old Testament reading and the gospel for each Sunday in cycles A, B, and C during Lent by suggesting themes and verses on which to focus.

Lectio divina is an ancient spiritual practice that can help us to hear God speaking to us through the words of Scripture. In recent times, Pope Benedict XVI and a Synod of Bishops have recommended that lay people pray with the Scriptures using this method. In this book, respected biblical scholar Stephen J. Binz chooses the Old Testament reading and the gospel for each Sunday in cycles A, B, and C during Lent, including the complete text from the Lectionary. Then he leads readers through the steps of lectio divina reading, meditation, prayer, contemplation, and action by suggesting themes and verses on which to focus.
