THE PRIMA PROCESS

THE BIBLE SUNDAY was celebrated on 10 July 2015.

I would like to share with you “The PRIMA PROCESS” which I took it from the CATHOLIC YOUTH BIBLE 2004 (CYB). PRIMA is the Latin word for “FIRST.” Each letter of the word stands for a step in reading and studying the Bible individually or with a group.

P – PRAY: Begin with a prayer that your time with the Bible will draw you closer to God.

R – READ: Read attentively, trusting that God will give you what you need to learn or grow.

I – IMAGINE: Imagine what was going on when the passage was first written. What is its cultural and historical context? Try to put yourself into the story. What was the authour trying to get across?

M – MEDITATE: Meditate on what you have read. How does this fit in the context of the best of the Bible’s teaching, with the Church’s teaching? What do you think God is teaching you?

A – APPLY: Apply what you have read to your life. God may be calling you to address a particular issue or relationship. Or you may find words of comfort and support you need at this particular time. Carry God’s word into the rest of your day, the rest of your life?

Using PRIMA process assists you remember to keep God first in your life. It is God’s Word in the Bible can change your life!
