Use the following passage from John’s gospel in a Lectio Divina Bible meditation:
Don’t let this throw you. You trust God, don’t you? Trust me. There is plenty of room for you in my Father’s home. If that weren’t so, would I have told you that I’m on my way to get a room ready for you? And if I’m on my way to get your room ready, I’ll come back and get you so you can live where I live. And you already know the road I’m taking.”
Thomas said, “Master, we have no idea where you’re going. How do you expect us to know the road?” Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You’ve even seen him!”
John 14: 1-7 (The Message)
Read the passage several times, slowly (lectio). Ask God to highlight a word or phrase for you.
Stay with your word or phrase (meditatio). Allow the word to speak to you.
As you feel able, respond to God from what you have experienced (oratio).
Finally, allow yourself to rest in the presence of your Holy, Loving Creator (contemplatio).
