The application "Lectio Divina - He Is" is help in reading God's Word so that this Word would change our thinking and let us make good choices and make good decisions in His light.
The application is an electronic version of Lectio Divina's deliberations, prepared from 2011 in the printed form for the parishioners of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wrocław - Strachocina by the members of the community "On Jest" of the Light-Life Movement.
The intention of the authors was to create a simple, easily accessible and intuitive (simplicity of use) tool for prayer with God's Word, with an understandable content of considerations bringing God's Word in the context of everyday life of ordinary people and related to life situations experienced by the writers. The application is addressed in particular to those who feel the need for prayer and who seek an orderly and uncomplicated method of prayer with the Word of God.
The authors of the reflections - comments - are lay people. Comments, in the intentions of the authors, have a rather auxiliary character. The main purpose is the personal meeting of the reader with the Word of God, which, as Saint. Paul is, in itself, "alive, effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, capable of judging the desires and thoughts of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). This is done by guiding the reader, step by step, through the various stages of this method
considerations of the Word of God:
1. Reading (lectio),
2. Meditation (meditatio),
3. Prayer (oratio) and standing before God (contemplatio).
4. Operation (actio)
The most important benefit that people using the Lectio Divina method notice is the growing sensitivity to listening to God in everyday life and mobilizing for regular prayer with God's Word.
Other benefits mentioned by users point to the value of this form of considering the Word in the context of combining prayer and life: "prayer is not detachment from life. My life becomes a prayer "," lectio method organizes my life "," I feel that God guides me and advises me how to live in everyday life ".
Only one reading from among the liturgical readings envisaged by the Church for a given day of the year is chosen for consideration, for, as St. Ignatius, "not the abundance of knowledge, but the inner feeling and tasting of things satisfies and saturates the soul."
The application works offline, text updates are downloaded from the network once a week (on Saturday) for each next week. Additional help for using the application
is an accessible description of the entire Lectio Divina method.
From December 2017, the application is also available on iPhones.
