HOME PRAYER STATION – EXPERIENCING LENT THROUGH SACRED ARTS Lectio Devina (an ancient way of reading and praying using a short scripture passage) Read the scripture passage three times. Use the following to guide you: 1st Reading: What is one word or phrase that stands out? Meditate (think/reflect) on that. 2nd Reading: Reread the passage. What do you feel? What in your life relates to these words? Write a prayer or just pray silently. 3rd Reading: Reread the passage. How might Jesus have responded to this Psalm as he wandered in the wilderness? What might be God’s personal invitation to you from the scripture? Sketch a picture on a piece of paper that expresses your thoughts or pray silently. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. 1 O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name. 5 My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,* and my mouth praises you with joyful lips 6 when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. 8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
