| Scripture WiFi: A Wireless Fideltiy Connection between God, Young Adults, and Scripture IBVM Sisters and anyone who comes |
Scripture WiFi is a way of praying with Scripture so that the Word of God comes alive in our hearts and more deeply influences the reality of our lives. This Scripture-based evening prayer uses the Lectio Divina format. Reading a Gospel passage aloud slowly and thoughtfully allows participants a time for silence and listening to God’s Word, a time for listening to others and how God’s Word affects them, and a time to share your personal thoughts on the meaning that the Gospel has for you.
