Summary

Do you want to learn how to pray with Scripture? This week, Fr. Josh invites us to pray using a prayer method called Lectio Divina. Fr. Josh shows us how he prays with Scripture by meditating on the Wedding Feast of Cana in the Gospel.

Snippet From the Show

In the Wedding Feast of Cana, we see that Mary not only notices the needs of others, but is also eager to bring them to her son.
