Mental prayer is a wonderful way to grow in knowledge and understanding. We can pray through reading the scriptures and meditating on the meaning of them through the light of the Holy Spirit. This is an ancient spiritual practice also known as lectio divina. We take time to prayerfully pour over a biblical text, reading it and re-reading it, prayerfully ruminating on it and listening for God’s voice as we study the word. Praying scripture ought to be a daily morning habit and can be easily accomplished through meditation on the daily scripture readings of the Mass. Take time to pause in a meaningful way over the passages, listening in the presence of God to what He is calling your attention to. You will be able to listen to what God is saying to you in your own life, and it often takes place in a hidden way. You may not even be aware of it in the moment but will come to realize it later.
