Lectio Divina is Holy Listening, prayer. In the four-phase process, one reads (lectio), reflects on (meditatio), responds to (oratio), and rests in (contemplatio) God's presence as 'heard' in the text of scripture or life. Stephen Ministers at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, practiced lectio on scripture, life events, and relationship with a care receiver for six months. Journal entries, written and oral response to reflection questions, and comments, concerns, and questions addressed to the researcher at monthly check-in were analyzed. Findings support that lectio practice increased participants' attentiveness to God's presence in their lives and Stephen Ministry.
