Wednesday of the Second Week of Eastertide – A Time of Lectio Divina for the Discerning Heart Podcast

This episode of 'Discerning Hearts' offers a guided session of Lectio Divina for Wednesday of the second week of Eastertide, centered on John 3:16–21. The host invites listeners into a meditative space, beginning with deep breathing and surrendering daily concerns to God, followed by a reflective reading of Jesus' dialogue with Nicodemus. The passage emphasizes God's profound love for the world, the purpose of Christ's mission—not condemnation but salvation—and the spiritual reality that those who live in sin avoid the light out of fear of exposure, while those who live in truth welcome the light to reveal their actions as done in God. The host encourages personal reflection on how the Word resonates within the heart, inviting listeners to listen deeply for God's personal message. The episode concludes with the Lord's Prayer, grounding the meditation in communal and personal surrender to God's will.
