Prayerful Reading (lectio) with Photos
In a prayerful way repeat the text below several times.
Blessed are the pure of heart;
they shall see God.
— Matthew 5:8
Sit with the photo and "read" it slowly
Ask yourself, What do the photo and text say to me?
What feeling or thought or word do they evoke?
What do I want to say to God through this photo and text?
What do you believe is God’s message for you today as you reflect on this photo and text?
