Lectio Divina: For the 25th Week In Ordinary Time

Please read slowly and reflectively.

Slowly count to five at the end of each line.

A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH (FIRST READER ONLY)

SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND;/

CALL TO HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR./

LET THE WICKED ABANDON THEIR WAYS,/

LET THEM FORSAKE THEIR THOUGHTS,/

LET THEM TURN TO THE LORD FOR MERCY,/

FOR OUR GOD IS GENEROUS IN FORGIVING./

FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS,/

MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS, SAYS THE LORD./

FOR, AS THE HEAVENS ARE ABOVE THE EARTH,/

SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS,/

AND MY THOUGHTS ABOVE YOUR THOUGHTS./
