Featured Resource Articles for this Week 
As the synod of bishops opens in Rome this week, Pope Benedict XVI is encouraging believers to grow closer to Scriptures through the practice of Lectio Divina. So all this month, we will be offering resources to help you hear God’s voice in his word and deepen your love for the Bible. This week, you’ll find a Scripture-based personal witness in which a man finds that surrender rather than striving is the path to Jesus’ love. We also offer a guide that explains how to use Lectio Divina in prayer. And since Tuesday is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, we include an article that explains the inner rhythm of this well-loved prayer. As always, we welcome your feedback.
