The method of lectio divina, sacred reading, was formulated in the 1100’s by Guigo, a Carthusian monk, as a prayerful way to help one to better understand the mysteries of the Bible and to deepen a relationship with God. Despite its simplicity, or because of it, the regular practice of lectio divina provides immense graces.
The method of interior prayer articulated by St. Teresa of Jesus for the Discalced Carmel helps cultivate the practice for people at all stages of spiritual development.
Masterwork. Mental prayer consists essentially in a loving conversation with God. The humble and direct Little Catechism of the Life of Prayer by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, OCD gives an excellent primer on the Teresian Method for leading a prayerful life.
