1 Corinthians 2:1-5
1And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the
testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.

Reflection

Today we will try Lectio Divina. This is a process of reading the scripture three times.  After each reading answer the questions here for that reading and then read the scripture again. This process will help us focus on scripture in a different way.

1st Reading: What is one word or phrase the Holy Spirit impresses on you? Meditate on that.

2nd Reading: Enter into the scripture passage. What do you feel? What specific situation in your life today relates? Write down a prayer or pray quietly.

3rd Reading: What is God’s personal invitation for you from the scripture? You can write down what God may be saying to you, write a prayer of thanks, or rest quietly in God.
