**//__ Lectio Divina __//****__ for All Ages __** During our “CCD 2.0” sessions at Immaculate in Tuckahoe, the children cycle through every 15 minutes for a dynamic prayer session. In designing these sessions, I wanted to give the children an experience of “Meeting Jesus” through prayer – an opportunity to build on that foundational relationship they have through Baptism. From one perspective it is a daunting task! However, I try to look at it differently: I simply need to facilitate the introduction, so-to-speak, and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. So, what does this “introduction” look like? First, the chairs and lighting in the room as they enter are different, definitely not “classroom style.” Second, school-safe “candles” are lit in the center of the room. Third, a brief explanation of the process of //Lectio Divina// takes place, and – finally – we jump out of the boat and onto the water toward Jesus. Sometimes the water is rough and we start sinking, especially for the younger grades who are tired and distracted after a long day of school. But, there has never been a session yet where Jesus did not reach out to each child as they called to Him. It has been a wonderful thing to witness, particularly as they have grown in their ability to quiet down and enter into the experience. I even believe that quite a few look forward to this time in their week when their only job is to be still and open their mind and heart to God. As the children of all ages (Grades 2-8) learned the //Lectio Divina// process, I wanted to give them the opportunity to explore the Scripture further between CCD 2.0 sessions. Naturally, my first instinct was an app – and I still intend to complete that – but, the next best thing is tracks on SoundCloud. All the kids these days go there to listen to all sorts of music. So, I recorded 10 //Lectio Divina// reflections as posted them on SoundCloud.com so that children and parents could pray any time, anywhere! For now, I posted 10 Scriptures and //Lectio Divina// exercises. They are a bit shorter than a usual //Lectio// exercise, taking the children and the timing of the CCD 2.0 sessions into consideration. People all over the world have actually listened to them at this point - even the Philippines and the UK! Check them out and feel free to use them at www.soundcloud.com/katy-feeney
