The Gospel of John with Augustine
Lectio Divina with the Spiritual Masters forms Catholics to meet Christ in Scripture through a disciplined, contemplative reading of the sacred text. This volume pairs the Gospel of John with the prayerful insights of Saint Augustine, offering clear guidance, structured meditations, and practical prompts so prayer remains fruitful in every season.
John’s Gospel draws the reader into contemplation of the Person of Jesus. Chapters 1 to 12 present signs with meditative discourses that reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom; chapters 13 to 21 enter the Passion, Death, and Resurrection, where the Lord unveils the inner life of the Trinity at work in our salvation.
With John, we see zeal joined to tender love that matures into likeness to Christ. With Augustine, we witness the power of grace that heals disordered desire and elevates the mind to God. Praying these two voices together through Lectio Divina leads to conversion, deeper contemplation, and a steady walk in holiness.
