Unspoken Word. Visio Divina: The Sacred Practice of Seeing

“Seeing with the eyes of your heart…”
Ephesians 1:18

Unspoken Word: Visio Divina is the practice of sacred seeing. At LifePoint, we believe faith is intellectual and artful. We hope you will read through our guide for engaging in Visio Divina - Gaze, Notice, Receive, Respond, and Trust - and then engage with the paintings created by LifePoint’s resident artist, Sherri Jones. Each painting is accompanied by a verse and a story (select the image to read the story).

Use this space to reflect and worship the Lord with all of your heart, soul, and mind.

  • GAZE

    Settle in. Breathe. Look softly.

  • NOTICE

    What colors, shapes, or feelings stir within? Become curious.

  • RECIEVE

    Be still. What is the painting whispering to your soul?

  • RESPOND

    Hold the moment. A word, a prayer, or a movement may emerge.

  • TRUST

    What is your prayerful response to this image?
