Description
The Second Vatican Council stated: "All . . . should immerse themselves in the Scriptures by constant spiritual reading and diligent study. . . ." The Church is still far from adequately carrying out those words, but recent years have seen a revival of interest in the Bible. During that revival, both the knowledge and the practice of lectio divina have become more widespread. In Praying the Bible Archbishop Mariano Magrassi reintroduces us to this practice of prayerful reading of the word of God which is our heritage. With his vast knowledge of the Fathers and medieval monastic writers, Archbishop Magrassi synthesizes the unique and extraordinary experience of lectio divina. What is it? What are its key ideas? What are the necessary personal dispositions? What are the steps by which prayed reading is transformed into genuine contemplation? In Praying the Bible Archbishop Magrassi answers these questions, providing a discussion that contains a healthy challenge and an invitation to grow. Chapters are "Liturgical Proclamation and Lectio Sacra," "Lectio Divina: Meaning of the Term," "Lectio Divina: Key Ideas," "Lectio Divina: Concrete Dispositions," "Lectio Divina: Four Acts," and "The Ancient 'Conference' and the Modern Review of Life.""Much more than a spiritual exercise, through the art of lectio divina we become a biblical people. Praying the Bible offers an invitation to the practice of sacred reading as a whole way of life by which we are conformed to the living Word of God by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit." Michael Downey Author of Trappist"This book can be a wonderful addition to parish libraries where many laity still work hard at incorporating ?Lectio Divina? into aspects of daily life?and useful to ?Lectio? professionals as well.?

午夜祈祷的力量
By Gabriel Agbo这本名为《午夜祈祷的力量》的书是肯定会是关于最全面和最强大的精神战争书之一。书名的选择来自于丰富的经验，令人不寒而栗的见证和忏悔，以及对上帝之道的仔细研究。这确实是一部内容丰富、研究充分的著作。它被描述为一本不可思议的书。在这里，你将了解到在晚上十一点到凌晨三点之间所做的祈祷中所蕴含的巨大，却尚未被充分发掘的精神力量。你对于赞美、祈祷和禁食的爆发性力量知之甚少吗？你知道神的使者，神的灵和神的火在我们对抗黑暗王国战争中扮演着什么角色吗？在这本书中，你将直接从以前伟大的神秘大师那里听到耶稣的名字和他的血对撒旦王国造成的巨大破坏性影响。当撒旦和他的恶魔直接接触到宇宙中这两种最强大的元素时会发生什么呢？为什么撒旦在一次会议中因为提到耶稣的名字而从椅子上摔下来呢？你知道敌人对教会，基督徒和牧师的战争策略吗？他是如何打倒，甚至是杀死福音的牧师的？谁是教会中黑暗王国的代理人？祈祷勇士应该扮演什么角色？撒但王国为何对人类的血肉之躯感兴趣呢？为什么人类要在神秘的世界里献祭？阅读来自撒旦的前代理人，甚至媒体关于牺牲人类和其他令人不寒而栗，不可印刷的行为的各种报道。为什么一个女人会摘下一个尚在爬行的婴儿眼睛，并用她所有的哭喊声和呻吟来屠杀她，然后把她的肉捣烂吃掉呢？神秘与性别有什么关联？邪恶的灵魂，契约和诅咒能通过性别传播吗？为什么一个男人会和一个小男孩睡觉，并把蛇放在他的肚子里，而只是为了获得权力，财富和地位？你还会发现其他爆炸性的话题，如与上帝摔跤，捆绑和放松，砸门，打开门，上帝的整个盔甲，天堂之门和地狱之门。这本书的二十一充满力量章节，肯定会让你为上帝而着火。我敢打赌你以前从来没有读过这类的书籍。愿上帝保佑你!Translator: Gabriel AgboPUBLISHER: TEKTIME
