  1. Exploring the Trinity in Scriptureand experience May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13-14 A collaborative learning experience

  2. LectioDivina Our goal: To spend time with God, through Scripture, contemplating the Trinity Practice and contemplation: two poles of the underlying, ongoing spiritual rhythm a gentle oscillation back and forth between spiritual “activity” and “receptivity”

  3. Group LectioDivina First reading: • Entire text by leader • A period of silence allows for meditation uponthe text as a whole Final reading : • Entire text by leader • Listen and ponder your new insights from the group reading, thinking in terms of what is at the heart of the passage. Second reading: • Read together as a group • Leader reads the first sentence or a portion of thefirst sentence • In the silence, savor the words, turning them over in your mind • Listen for words or phrases that touch you, draw you closer toGod or reveal God • Don’t worry about silence—recognize the presence of God in it • As you feel moved by a word or phrase, repeat it aloud within the order and context • As you feel so moved, speak aloud the next succeeding sentence/phrase word • Listen in silence and respond aloud as stated above • Repeat previouslycontemplated words if so moved • Continue cooperatively listening, sharing and moving forward until the end of text

  4. Matthew 3:13-17 13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"  15Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. 16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
