Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on lectio divina, the monastic practice of prayerful scriptural reading, consulted 2026-08-11, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, useful for a general overview of the practice. NotesWikipedia's article on lectio divina, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the Latin term's literal meaning, its embedding in the sixth century Rule of Saint Benedict, and its documented revival from the mid twentieth century onward through the Second Vatican Council's Dei Verbum and Pope Benedict XVI's 2005 remarks, standard reference facts about the practice's history rather than any doctrinal interpretation of scripture.
