About this book

Lectio Divina with the Spiritual Masters invites you to deepen your relationship with God's Word through the ancient and contemplative practice of Lectio Divina. Blending the prayerful reading of Scripture with the enduring wisdom of the Church's greatest spiritual guides, this volume offers a unique encounter with divine truth.

In this edition, journey with Saint John Chrysostom, the "Golden-Mouthed" preacher and Father of the Church, whose eloquent and powerful homilies on the Gospel of Matthew have nourished the faithful for over sixteen centuries. His commentary opens the door to the heart of Christ's teachings, shedding light on the Sermon on the Mount, the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the call to authentic discipleship.

Whether you are new to Lectio Divina or a seasoned practitioner, this guide will help you pray with the Gospel in a deeper, more transformative way. With Saint John Chrysostom as your companion, Scripture becomes not only a text to be studied but a divine voice to be heard, received, and lived.

Rediscover the living Word of God. Let the clarity, boldness, and compassion of Saint John Chrysostom lead you into greater intimacy with Christ and a more faithful response to His call.

  • Learn to engage Scripture with a contemplative heart, encountering Christ in a more personal and prayerful way.
  • Draw on the timeless insight of Saint John Chrysostom to illuminate your path and strengthen your faith.
  • Structured reflections and prompts will guide you through fruitful Lectio Divina sessions, suitable for any stage of your spiritual journey.
