Many catholics are encouraged to use their Bible with fervour and to practise Lecto Divina. This is not an easy task! It takes time and practice! Support is needed as finding the Lord’s light or “our daily bread” in the Bible can be a challenge – albeit very worthwhile.

This course is about deepening the relationship between the “Bible” and our “Spiritual Life”: in a word, it aims at helping us view the Bible as the source of our daily nourishment. What makes this course unique is, first, the choice of topics (substantial and rarely addressed topics) and, secondly, relating them to our Spiritual Life!

As always, Our Lady continues to lead us on our journey.
