A Sacred Meditation: Listening to Sacred Wisdom

How often do you truly listen — not just with your ears, but with your heart?

This week’s Sacred Meditation at the Fetzer Institute introduces Lectio Divina, an ancient practice of divine reading. Rooted in deep listening and reflection, Lectio Divina invites us to open our hearts to the wisdom present in sacred texts.

This week, we reflect on a passage from 1 Corinthians:
"Trust steadily in God. Hope unswervingly. Love extravagantly. The best of these three is love."

Here’s what to expect during this guided practice:
● Preparation: Settle the mind and body, making space for the sacred.
● Reading: Listen to the sacred text. Let a word or phrase call to you.
● Reflection: What stands out? What is the Spirit saying to you?
● Rest: Be still in the presence of love and sacred mystery.

This is not a practice of "figuring it out" but of listening deeply for the quiet wisdom that’s always present. Take a moment to be still, open your heart, and listen to the love that surrounds you.
