4) Divine Reading

LECTIO

Heart listens

Word shimmers

Spirit dances

Hope lifts into

MEDITATIO

Life learning

Lesson applying

Illumination becomes

Heart fills into

ORATIO

Prayers lift

Shared hope

Petitions speak

Word becomes now

CONTEMPLATIVO

Silence shifts

Breath slows

Thoughts fall into

Heart listens.
