Sažetak
The aim of this article is to arrive at a more profound consideration of the
Word of the Lord. It is addressed primarily to priests, but also to the lay faithful. The
article is divided into three parts. The first part considers the Word of the Lord in the
perspective of Scripture and the Second Vatican Council. The second part deals with
more practical and pastoral themes centered on the diakonia, that is, serving the Word,
which is realized through what is generically described as lectio divina. The practice
of lectio divina is an invitation proclaimed by the Church Magisterium. The Church
Magisterium strongly and specifically calls on all the lay faithful to acquire through
constant reading of the Word of the Lord an elevated knowledge, that is, knowledge
of Jesus Christ. Accordingly, this reading is accompanied by a prayer that is intended
to establish dialogue between man and God. The third part proposes approaches to
reading Scriptural texts through lectio divina, so that the spirituality of the priest can
achieve greater intimacy with the Word of the Lord.
