Brief Scriptural Reflections

Scriptural reflection (known as lectio in monastic tradition) is a priority in Benedictine prayer. As an aid to this rich source of communion with God, Mary Benet McKinney, OSB, writes a brief reflection for each day of the month. To access these reflections click here.

The Monastic Inter Religious Dialogue (MID) is sponsored by North American Benedictine and Cisterian Monasteries of Men and Women. The website identifies MID as “an organization of Catholic monastic women and men who bring their charism of listening and hospitality to interreligious dialogue.” MID’s mission:

MID fosters dialogue at the level of spiritual practice and experience between North American Catholic monastic women and men and contemplative practitioners of diverse religious traditions. We engage in dialogue to promote the unity of the human family and mutual understanding among the world’s religions.

Daily Scriptural readings can be found at usccb.org/nab.
