The experience of Lectio Divina has been extremely pleasing and peaceful. This is because there could not have been any better experience than praying, meditating as well as reading Scripture by me on a continuous basis. It is important to realize that there cannot be any materialistic desires developed during the time of developing the experience of Lectio Divina. This is because the mind will be in a peaceful condition during and after having the experience of Lectio Divina. However, there will always be disturbances in the mind and heart initially because of the evil one tempting the mind and the heart to get disturbed.
