Thanks so much for this. I learned lectio divina from Fr. Pennington summer 2003 as a retreatant at St. Joseph's Abbey - Spencer, Massachusetts. Lectio divina and Fr. Pennington changed my life, freeing me to appreciate the Scriptures as never before. Amid all else, he made silence sonorous and contagious. - Thanks for your wonderful reminder of this incredible man.
I have been watching and enjoying these talks so much. The warmth, passion and practicality of Fr. Pennington is contagious but it is the steady focus on prayer and God which is the real treasure here, and how well the quotes are chosen and shared to encourage us in our contemplation. Wonderful.
