Lectio the Liturgy
Praying with the Roman Missal
About the show
Give a woman a phrase, and she's going to want a visual to go with it.
That's how it all started. You know those times - when you ask God to show you something amazing in Scripture. One weekend during Easter of 2016, the only thing that popped off the page of Scripture was "so that".
So what was I supposed to do with that? "Nothing" was my first reaction because really, what kind of conjunction is that, anyway? Next week, another "so that" appeared. THEN, I went home and started diagramming Scripture, and I found myself, each day, diagramming a new verse. This method made the Scripture, and the Prayers of the Liturgy come alive. (p.s. "So that" is not like an equal sign.)
I am a wife, mom, and a convert to the Catholic Faith. I love to read, travel, teach, and share the love of God. Tea and Scripture make for the best mornings, don't they?
DISCLAIMER: No "grammar police" here! I have rediscovered my passion for diagramming sentences and in doing so, have found a whole new insight into prayer because I've found joy in the words.

1st Sunday of Lent - Prayer After Communion
February 22nd, 2023 | 4 mins 51 secs
desire, first sunday, lent, living bread, virtue
I tell ya, the Roman Missal never disappoints. As I meditated on this prayer, the Prayer after Communion for the first Sunday of Lent, I didn’t know what to pray for first: greater virtues or greater desire for the true and living bread.
