<strong>Lectio</strong> <strong>Divina</strong> Praying the Scriptures in Lent and Holy Week 2011 Year Aour very blood as followers of Christ. As a priestly people born of ourbaptism, we hold hope as a virtue that supports and informs our faith life.The Easter season begins with Lent, a time of letting go, of being in thedesert, as our weekly lectio refl ections remind us, ending with the apparenthopelessness of Good Friday. Is not much of our experience but an extensionof Lent, if we are alive, aware and looking around? Our broken world,fi lled with shadows, is the ground of our being. Where do we fi nd hopein the midst of the darkness we see on the news each evening? Is there areality greater than those shadows in which we can anchor our soul?We believe the Christian story does not end on Friday. Thereis Sunday. And our daily encounter with the Word of Godthrough our Lenten lectio deepens this conviction.David L. Walker DDBishop of <strong>Broken</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>3
