Monday of the Fifth Week of Eastertide – A Time of Lectio Divina for the Discerning Heart Podcast

This episode of the Discerning Hearts podcast offers a guided meditation on the Gospel of John 14:21–26, reflecting on the themes of love, obedience, and the presence of God through the Holy Spirit during the fifth week of Eastertide. The host invites listeners into a contemplative practice of Lectio Divina, beginning with a moment of surrender and prayer, followed by repeated readings of the passage to allow the Word of God to resonate deeply. The central message centers on the intimate relationship between love and obedience: those who love Jesus keep His commandments, and in return, the Father and Son dwell within them through the Holy Spirit. The episode emphasizes personal encounter with Christ, encouraging listeners to reflect on what the passage means for their own hearts and spiritual lives. The closing prayer is the Lord’s Prayer, grounding the meditation in communal and personal devotion.
