TRY SOMETHING ANCIENT Lectio 365 Morning Prayers are inspired by the ancient practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ (meaning ‘Divine Reading’), a way of meditating on the Bible that’s been used by Christians for centuries. 

Lectio 365 Midday Prayers are centred around The Lord’s Prayer. 
 Lectio 365 Night Prayers are inspired by the Ignatian practice of The Examen, which is a way to prayerfully reflect on your day. TOPICAL CONTENT, TIMELESS THEMES * Pray about global issues and headlines (e.g. wars, natural disasters, areas of injustice) * Explore timeless Biblical themes (e.g. ‘The Names of God,’ or ‘The Teachings of Jesus’) * Prepare for Christmas, Easter and Pentecost and celebrate heroes of the faith on Feast Days FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CENTURIES OF CHRISTIANS… Jesus and his disciples followed the Jewish tradition of praying three times a day. The early church continued this practice, uniting not simply around a weekly meeting but also around a daily rhythm of prayer. This practice of returning to God over and over again throughout the day helped to launch the church all over the world. With Lectio 365, you become part of reviving this ancient rhythm of prayer in the modern church. EXPERIENCE GOD’S PRESENCE Time each day to remember who you really are, who God really is, and the story you are living in. Take your eyes off your circumstances and turn your attention to God: deliberately interrupting your ordinary, everyday life to remember who you’re living for.
