Join Sr. Hyacinthe Defos du Rau OP in the second video of our series “Praying with Scripture” and learn about the Four Senses of Scripture. 

This approach allows you to engage with God’s Word at a number of levels and discover its richness and relevance in your faith and life. Sr. Hyacinthe will be your guide, helping you explore the beauty and wisdom of Scripture.

The Four Senses are as follows:

  1. The Literal Sense – Understanding the text’s straightforward meaning.
  2. The Allegorical Sense – Finding symbolic or metaphorical meanings in the text.
  3. The Moral Sense – Applying the text’s teachings to our own lives.
  4. The Anagogical Sense – Exploring the text’s spiritual and heavenly significance.

Sr. Hyacinthe demonstrates how to apply this method of praying with scripture to any passage. So take a moment to find a quiet, distraction-free space and join us in this sacred adventure of prayer and spiritual growth. Allow Sr. Hyacinthe’s wisdom to guide you towards a deeper connection with Scripture and God.
