Five Movements of Visio Divina
- Sacred seeing – taking in the details of the image (attentively with expectation of seeing something new)
- Reflecting (allow feelings, memories, thoughts to arise and asking how do these feelings connect to your life?)
- Praying (what is your prayer response? Put your desire into words)
- Contemplating (quietly REST in God, listen with the ear of your heart)
- Witnessing (How are you drawn to respond?)
