Lectio Divina Journal

About this app

The Lectio Divina Journal provides a contemplative prayer practice for the everyday human experience. The long and lived history of Lectio Divina provide four movements (lectio - reading of, meditatio - reflecting on, oratio - responding to, contemplatio - resting in) that move the participant(s) from simply attaining information toward acommunion and union with God that is formational and transformative. The journal provides a daily (Monday - Friday) Lectio Divina invitation, a Saturday Examen Prayer practice, and a Sunday journaling option.

After four years of designing and sending the printed Lectio Divina Journal all over the world, we are extremely excited for this web/mobile version to be available to you.
It has taken many months to birth this digital option, and this small monthly subscription cost of $1.99/month helps us cover the upkeep, maintenance, and updates for future versions.

If we get to a place where we can offer the digital version for free we will. You will be the first to know. In the mean time we hope you enjoy this web/mobile journal, may it be as life giving to you as the printed version has been for thousands around the world.

Ratings and reviews

I have been using the books for a couple of years, so I was glad to see these readings offered in an app. The app is set up just like the books, and it has handy links to each specific reading at Bible Gateway, where you can use the default ESV or choose whatever version you prefer. There are sections to record your thoughts, insights, and prayers. My only quibble with this app is that it erases what I write more than half the time, and I haven't yet figured out why. 5 stars if this gets fixed.

I love this app as it is very convenient and readably available. It allows me to spend time in scripture in a contemplative way, so not only reading the Bible but engaging with the Father as I do that. It also allows me tp record what I have written so I can revisit and as I do that I see more clearly what God is saying to me. Excellent!!!! My only question is once it stops which I believe is July, how do I subscribe or get access to July-December. Thanks

Hidden charges! To download this app is free, but to actually use it you have to sign up to a monthly payment subscription! This information should be at the download section, not just way down the information in the 'about this app' but on the main screen. Other similar apps are just as good and completely free.
