This is our second meditation on the Magi for the VLX series which stands for "Video Lectio Divina" meaning "Video Mental Prayer" or "YouTube Catholic Meditations."

This is the first meditation of the methods of St. Bruno and St. Teresa of Avila. We consider the two ways to do mental prayer (Catholic Meditation) upon the Nativity of Our Lord as we go through all of St. Matthew's Gospel. This is the first chapter of Matthew's Gospel.
