Reading – getting to know the text (Senses)
Take in all the elements of the text.
Be aware of context, related texts, quotes.
Who are the key characters; what are the key words.
Don’t choose any one thing to work with at this stage.
You are gathering food for thought.
Meditation – engaging with the text, making it my own (Reason) - What does the text tell me?
about God who speaks?
about responding to that God?
about my faith?
about what I need to do to transform my faith life?
Prayer – let prayer emerge from your working with the text (Will)
Our prayer is rooted in our reading/meditation.
Meditation humbles us, so we turn humbly to God.
We seek the grace we need to do what we must.
We acknowledge that alone we can do nothing.
All that we can do in prayer, is done here.
Action – throughout the day
Now choose a word, phrase sentence.
Bring it to mind frequently during the day.
Let it recapture the experience of your lectio.
Use it especially in situations relating to your lectio.
