On mornings of most third Wednesdays of the month, Fr. Kevin Regan, parochial vicar at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew, leads lectio divina of the following Sunday's readings. Lectio divina (or "divine reading") is praying with Scripture. Pope Benedict XVI said, "Assiduous reading of sacred Scripture accompanied by prayer makes that intimate dialogue possible in which, through reading, one hears God speaking, and through prayer, one responds with a confident opening of the heart."
