Lectio & Labyrinth at St. Dunstan & Online

The beautiful grass path labyrinth remains open 24/7 and is located on the front of the St Dunstan's property next to 264th Street in Aldergrove BC.

You can participate in-person, or online via Zoom with our finger labyrinth for home (see below).   

Lectio Divina is a slow and meditative reading of scripture. A reading made more with the heart than with the mind with no practical aim but simply to allow oneself to be impregnated with the word of God. We are invited to go beyond a rapid study or quick exercise to arrive at a deeper understanding of the unity of our lived experience of our interior attitude and life’s daily activities allowing ourselves to be questioned, challenged, ad formed through Lectio and all elements and encounters through the day. We listen to God to carry the contemplative practice of the Presence of God into all activities of the day.  

Labyrinth practice is a tool for prayer whereby a person follows a path in prayerful silence to a centre.  It is a living representation of our life journey from birth to death to new life in God. People use the labyrinth for prayer in several ways. For some, it is a simple walk to a center in silence to help the mind find peace in anxious thoughts.  For others, it is an intentional search for resolution to an issue they are facing.  Prayer labyrinths come in many shapes and sizes. They all follow one clearly marked path. Unlike a maze, there are no barriers, false turns, or dead ends. They all have a center or final point to move toward and away from.
