Lectio Divina, or divine reading, is an ancient approach to studying the Bible. Adapted from Jewish tradition by Saint Benedict in the sixth century, it is a special way of listening to God. This unhurried, reflective study of Scripture combines prayer and meditation, allowing the reader to understand and contemplate God’s message. Macrina Wiederkehr, author of Seasons of Your Heart and The Song of the Seed, explains the practice of divine reading in a way that makes it accessible to everyone. In a world filled where most people are overbooked and overstressed, A Tree Full of Angels is an invitation to spend a few minutes with God - a few minutes that might become the most important part of your day. Sister Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, is a Benedictine monastic of St. Scholastica Monastery in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She has published several books, including Seasons of Your Heart, A Tree Full of Angels, and The Song of the Seed. She leads retreats in the U. S. and in Canada based on her writings. “Challenges us to remember the people in our past with a love that knows we will meet again, and look forward to the future with hope that God who so feeds us today has set an even greater banquet."–– Reverend Nicholas Ayo, University of Notre Dame | A Tree Full of Angels by MACRINA WIEDERKEHR, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
