Ancient Practices: Praying with Your Imagination

IMG_2235.JPG

St. Ignatius of Loyola inspired a practice of imaginative, interactive prayer; prayer that exchanges holy words and pictures back and forth between us and God. This is prayer that engages our full sacred mind and imagination in participating in prayer and Scripture with Jesus. This is prayer that invites Jesus to show and speak, to take us by the hand and pull us in to what he is doing.  Perhaps you’ve already practiced lectio divina, or “divine reading”.  This practice is traditionally known as visio divina, “divine seeing”.
