Hands down most relatable video Ive viewed on this topic. You are a brilliant instructor! THANK YOU!!!!!!! Your teaching style is friendly to all learning styles. I so appreciate this video!!!
I recently visited a Christian bookstore and started reading the ESV Study Bible and really liked it. As a cradle Catholic I’m wondering if Otto to buy it?
Hello Ted. Hopefully you’ll see this comment. Briefly, what scripture translation would you recommend for the practice of lectio and why? The two I’m jostling between are the DR and the RSVCE. My main focus has been on the psalms. The DR is appealing because it is based on St Jeromes Gallican Psalter which is itself a translation of the LXX. I like this because it means that I am fundamentally using the same text or similar to the holy Fathers, both Greek and Latin. Even if it is not so accurate, nonetheless there is something nice about knowing that I’m reading from what, for example, St Thomas Aquinas was reading from too. Further, there is also the liturgical significance of the Vulgate as a who, as well as its use in medieval scholasticism to take into consideration. On the other hand, the RSVCE is more faithful to the original hebrew text and also more intelligible. Perhaps it could be said that a text like that is better for discerning the word of God. In general, I am more familiar with the DR and the Vulgate but i havent made a total commitment yet vis a vis a translation for lectio. I hope you see this question and find time to answer it. Thanks, and thanks for the videos.
Great video: succinct yet practically informative. I like the group lectio as an extension of personal lectio. Based on Trinitarian theology, I have wondered for many years (decades) if there should be a religious order that includes fraternal dialogue on divine topics as part of its rule. I have often found that my best insights come through talking with other faithful, prayerful Catholics. A form of Trinitarian Order would seem quite suited to Catholicism, with our emphasis on the Communion of Saints over a "mere" personal relationship with God.
I wonder if you can get your friends to help out more in future videos. They were deep, sorry to hear about Fred's Father, I hope he did finally visit his father's grave...
That was a very creative and funny. It encourages us to try the "lectio divina". Thank you Ted. Thinking on taking advantages on what is happening now with the lock down (COVID 19), this is something we can start doing in our home.
why did you stop making videos? you should make more
superb stagecraft !

3:55 haha, did you model Ned after your sister (muah) circa 2014? Well done!
I'm not anywhere near pretty enough (muah!)
That was a really useful illustration of how to conduct the meeting!
Thanks, Miguel!

Answering very belatedly. Have you checked out Ted's video on "What's your favorite study Bible"? Might help with your question. God bless you! ☺️🙏

Is St. Irenaeus Ministries aligned with Rome and the Vatican Church

Praise God!
I laughed inappropriately loudly when it was time for "Oz" to do the reading and he flipped his NIV over.
