“It is especially necessary that listening to the Word of God becomes a living encounter, in accordance with the age-old and still relevant tradition of lectio divina, helping to find in the biblical text a living word that poses questions, indicates direction, and shapes life” (John Paul II, Novo millenio ineunte, 39).
Lectio divina, “if effectively promoted, will bring a new spiritual springtime to the Church” (Benedict XVI, The Word of God as a Source of Renewal for the Church, in: “L’Osservatore Romano” 26 (2005) no. 11-12, p. 25).
“There is a concrete way of listening to what the Lord wants to tell us in His Word, and of opening ourselves to be transformed by His Spirit. This is what we call «lectio divina». It consists in reading the Word of God in moments of prayer, so that it may enlighten and renew us” (Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, no. 152).

Lectio Divina
Brochure
We began the project of promoting an encounter with the living Word of God based on the ancient method of Lectio Divina in 2011 at the Parish of Our Lady of Sorrows in Wrocław-Strachocin by printing the first brochures.
Our main goal was to encourage parishioners to independently (individually) read and meditate on the Word of God using this method, specifically:
- To convince parishioners of the crucial importance of practicing reading Holy Scripture combined with prayer for daily life (experiencing the power of the living Word of God in everyday life)
- Encouraging more frequent recourse to Holy Scripture
- Building awareness of Holy Scripture as the inspired Word of God
- Developing the skill of reading Holy Scripture as the Word of God and encountering God in His Word
- Supporting the practice of personal prayer by providing a ready-made tool that demonstrates how to practice it in a concrete form
- Illustrating the dynamics of individual parts of the liturgical year through the accompanying Word of the daily readings
- Providing the opportunity for better preparation for the Eucharist liturgy or reflecting on the Word after the liturgy

Brochure
Before the Covid pandemic, we distributed approximately 500 copies of the brochure to 13 parishes, mainly in the Wrocław diocese. The pandemic halted our Lectio project in printed brochure form; perhaps we will resume it someday if there is demand…
Lectio Divina
Website
The daily meditations on the Word of God published on our website are created by a group of individuals collaborating with Fundacja Rhema.
We hope that our proposal for listening to and meditating on the Word of God in the form of Lectio Divina will help you encounter the living God, present in the pages of Holy Scripture. Our goal is to show you an accessible and simple way to read, listen to, and pray with Holy Scripture, so that the Word of God you encounter may guide you in your daily life. We also wish to pray with the entire Church, which is why the reading chosen for daily meditation aligns with the liturgical year calendar.
The meditations published on this website should by no means replace individual reflection and listening to what God speaks to each of us in the depths of our hearts directly through His Word. However, we hope that they can help in discovering the richness of meaning in the texts of Holy Scripture and inspire a search for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Peace and good!
My name is Br. Serhiy Kippa. I am a Catholic priest-monk from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. In all the “poverty of my words,” I simply share with friends a seed of His Word that has touched me. And so, an archive was created.
I thank Mr. Jerzy Prokopiuk and the RHEMA Foundation for the opportunity to create a Ukrainian version of Lectio Divina.
