Lectio Divina: For the 4th Week in Ordinary Time

Please read slowly and reflectively.

Slowly count to five at the end of each line.

A READING FROM PSALM 71 (FIRST READER ONLY)

In you, O my beloved, do I take refuge;/

Let me never feel separated from you!

In your compassion, come and refresh me;/

Listen to my cry, answer my plea!/

Be to me a rock, a tower of strength,/

A strong arm to uphold me,/

As I abandon myself into your hands./

I tell others of your goodness/

Of your compassion and grace./

As I grow in inner peace and serenity,/

I sing songs of praise to you, my friend!/
