On Sunday 29 October people attending Mass in the Archdiocese took part in a Lectio Divina exercise, designed to introduce them to this form of prayer if they have not encountered it before. The Gospel of the day was used as the Scripture, and a leader took the congregation through the Lectio Divina process in place of the homily. Feedback has shown that the process was much appreciated by many people.
The leaflet about Lectio Divina which was given out at Mass can be accessed here.
