Lectio divina “is not so much a matter of reading a book as of seeking Someone: ‘With all its ardor, the Church seeks in Scripture the One whom she loves.’ Exegesis is not technique; it is mysticism…exegesis becomes an ardent search, a joyful and almost dreamlike discovery, a poem of love.”

“In order to pray, we do not need to rack our brains, artificially evoking interior acts, thoughts, or excessively refined affections. All we need to do is react in the presence of the text with free and spontaneous prayer. And when this spontaneous outpouring stops, we return to the text for fresh nourishment.”

“One who is spiritual is one who is hungry and thirsty. Only the Word can satisfy this craving.”

“Ignatius of Antioch said that we must go to Scripture as to the flesh of Christ. He is the one center where all the lines of the biblical universe meet. And if it is true that every sentence of Scripture, since it contains an unfathomable mystery, has many senses, it is even more true that every sentence of Scripture always has only one sense.”
