Lectio Divina

As Paulines we should consider reading Sacred Scripture, daily, according the Pauline form of Lectio Divina.  This is a simple, but effective three-step approach:

1)      “Engaging with and understanding Scripture by using our mind (TRUTH)

2)     Applying Scripture to our lives by mobilizing our will and listening to God’s voice that guides us (WAY); and

3)     Opening our heart to the Word, in order to be changed by it (LIFE).”

Radio is used not only as a fruitful instrument of diffusion, education and civilization, but also and especially to, preach the Divine Word to all people scattered on the surface of the earth. Thus the radio presents a future full of promises for the Catholic apostle (AE, 483).

Today the press, cinema and radio move side by side: three forces that complement and reinforce one another, three rulers of thought, of the world.  Today more than ever, the problem concerning these three achievements of human genius must be3 studied, not to suppress their basic strength, but to make them wonderful instruments of apostolate (AE, 11-12)
