PRAYER
Back
Prayer is giving our attention to God in a two-way spiritual relationship where we talk to God and also listen to Him. The Catechism clearly defines prayer as a "vital and personal relationship with the living and true God" (CCC, no. 2558).
St. John Damascene gave a classic definition of prayer: "Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God.”

VISIO DIVINA
Back
Visio Divina is translated as “divine seeing”. It is related to the prayer form Lectio Divina (divine reading), but instead of Scripture, this form of prayer uses visual elements to help set your mind on prayer.
Praying through art is a multi-sensory way to connect to God through prayer. Any piece of art can be the subject of reflection. It is not necessary for it to be religious art; however, reflecting on icons has been practiced since ancient times. Drawing on the principles of Lectio Divina, Visio Divina is the slow, thoughtful contemplation of a picture, photo, work of art, or really anything visual that invites God to speak to me in a deeper way.
