Lectio the Liturgy
Hosted by Julie Storr · EN
Give a woman a phrase, and she's going to want a visual to go with it. That's how it all started. You know those times - when you ask God to show you something amazing in Scripture. One weekend during Easter of 2016, the only thing that popped off the page of Scripture was "so that". So what was I supposed to do with that? "Nothing" was my first reaction because really, what kind of conjunction is that, anyway? Next week, another "so that" appeared. THEN, I went home and started diagramming Scripture, and I found myself, each day, diagramming a new verse. This method made the Scripture, and the Prayers of the Liturgy come alive. (p.s. "So that" is not like an equal sign.) I am a wife, mom, and a convert to the Catholic Faith. I love to read, travel, teach, and share the love of God. Tea and Scripture make for the best mornings, don't they? DISCLAIMER: No "grammar police" here! I have rediscovered my passion for diagramming sentences and in doing so, have found a whole new insight into prayer because I've found joy in the words.

Transcribe →Episode 144: Consenting to conform
Oct 1400:04:52Tap to summarizeSubmitting our will to God is more than giving God permission to change our plans. It requires us to let go and allow Him to conform us. Oh yeah, then there’s the obedience part.

Transcribe →Episode 142: Pietas of God
Sep 3000:05:33Tap to summarizeWhen you read the word kindness in this week’s prayer, don’t just keep going. In the Latin form of the prayer for kindness, we find the word pietas, which refers to the loyalty, devotion, and duty in relation to family. If you took the look of kindness or pietas that is seen on Mary’s face in Michelangelo’s Pieta and multiplied it by infinity, that is the kindness the Father has for us.
