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.
