Visio Divina is Lectio Divina through the portal of sight. We gaze at an image slowly and without agenda, and let it become a thin place. We live among images we consume rather than contemplate; this practice teaches us to behold rather than glance.

Choose an image to pray with, and whether you are praying alone or leading a group. The page will walk you through each movement, with a time of silence after each. New to Visio Divina? Read the guide first, or begin with a guided meditation on The Open Gate.
