5 Methods of Lectio Divina
Lectio Divina traditionally consists of four steps:
• Lectio (Read): We begin by reading a passage of Scripture slowly and attentively. The goal is
not to cover large amounts of text, but to savor each word and phrase.
• Meditatio (Meditate): We reflect on the text we've read, ruminating on its meaning and
allowing it to speak to our lives. We ponder what God might be saying to us through this
specific passage.
• Oratio (Pray): We respond to the passage in prayer. This could involve asking for guidance,
expressing gratitude, or simply conversing with God about what we've read and meditated
upon.
• Contemplatio (Contemplate): We rest in God's presence, moving beyond words to a quiet
communion with the Divine. This is a time of listening and being rather than speaking or
doing."
