“In the ecosystem of the post-Conciliar spirituality, the ancient practice of lectio divina is surely one of the unearthed treasures that can flow out of our liturgical spirituality and feed back into it, as well as be sustaining private practice. Kathleen Cahalan does a masterful job of exposing the many facets of this form of prayer for anyone interested in deepening their spiritual life through a vibrant relationship with the Word of God.”Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam, Secretary General of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue
