Visio Divina

We are used to hurrying through life. Here, we are allowing ourselves time to become still and to enter a sacred way of seeing — with the eyes of the heart.

Visio Divina is a contemplative practice of prayer that invites us to look slowly and deeply, allowing an image to become a place of encounter with God.

Allow yourself to receive the image as a gift. There is nothing to work out and nowhere to hurry to. Simply become still, look gently, and remain open to whatever the Holy Spirit may bring to your attention. We enter this time with reverence and an open heart.

Visio Divina moves gently through four movements: Gazing · Reflecting · Responding · Resting

In the full guided prayer, you will be quietly guided through each movement.

This is a guided prayer that unfolds slowly. Each invitation will come in its own time. When the screen grows quiet and still, that silence is part of the prayer.
