This article explores lectio divina as a practical way of spiritual formation. It emphasizes the importance of the Bible as a source of lectio divina. It suggests that the Bible is not for information or a tool for ideas, but is for Christiansspiritual formation. It also emphasizes that the Bible can be secularized if it is regarded as a mere object for study or information. Lectio divina can be an important method for recovering the essence of the Bible. It is one of the most effective methods not only to get a historical background knowledge but also to experience Gods Word revealed in the present. This article criticizes rationalism and discusses the informative and formative methods as the ways of reading the Bible, and emphasizes that how approaching the Bible is as important as the Bible itself. It also asserts that lectio divina provides the right and rich energy for prayer that is an important element to spiritual life. In this way, the Bible can be in the center of our lives and prayer becomes dependent upon the Bible. This article further looks into the processes of lectio divina. Lectio divina can be practised in four stages -reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation, which neither are static or progress automatically one by one. In conclusion, this article emphasizes that lectio divina is a very important method for spiritual formation that is necessary for contemporary Christians who are threatened in their identity and mature life in faith by secular culture and thought.
